Added the cardi for warmth in my frigid office, Grandma J's necklace and that was all I needed with this bold pattern. Probably won't wear this dress again for a while as the hem came down today and I am notoriously lazy about repairs...yeah, yeah, I'll get to it.The stuff:
Yup, that's stuff all right. Dress (no label, thrifted, vintage), cardigan (Jacob), boots (Roberto Vianni), necklace (Listner, Grandma J's, vintage), earrings (gift from L).
Do you find when a dress has no lining that it sticks to your tights? I've been depressed to have to invest in slips. Boo! They annoy me.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress! I love the print, and it is beautiful with boots.
ReplyDeleteSo would wearing a half-slip under the dress prevent the clingy problem? I know it's not the "hippest" thing, but I just took an old long slip of my mom's and cut it short enough that it won't show under skirts, and it helps a lot with unlined dresses.
The pattern on that dress is so cool. I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVETH that dress! Such a pretty print and it fits you perfectly. Yay for the return of the boots, too!
ReplyDeleteOh I'm lazy too. I get a pile and head to the seamstress at the dry cleaning place.
ReplyDeleteReally pretty pattern!
Bring the dress in--I'll toss it under the sewing machine when I'm doing your other dress. As soon as my sewing table gets repaired.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress. (don't worry; it won't fit me LOL)
Wendy, YES, it is the most annoying thing in the world. I hav nothing against slips (they are nice and warm too), but they are annoying, you are so right.
ReplyDeleteKari, thanks! The print is what drew me to it. I find with slips or half-slips, that if even a smidge of a cotton dress is touching tights, the dress will ride up...which means that the slip is always in danger of showing. I also don't like white or black or beige under a bold colour pattern, those are the main colours slips come in. If I had a turquoise slip, I'd be laughing!
Thanks, Kaylyn!
Thanks, FA! Yay for boots!
Sher, I am lucky to have a friend with a sewing machine. Thanks!
Aw, thanks, Ruth - I will bring it in when I wash it. Let me know when the sewing table is fixed! Ha! If it fits you, you are welcome to wear it - one day!
