I kind of fell in love with this taffeta at the fabric store. Honestly, the lighting in my apartment is really bad - it's even brighter in real life. It's got a kind of abstract animal print thing going on, which is not usually to my taste, but the colors just jumped out at me.

Since the print was so bold, I kept the shape really simple - it's basically just a tank dress with elastic waist and a button closure in the back. And pockets, obviously pockets!
I thought it would be a fun dress for the summer that could be easily dressed up or down. I finished it this past weekend, when I wasn't organically divesting my parents' lawn of dandelions. I forgot to take any in-progress pictures though, as usual.

I can't help feeling like it needs something, though. A belt, maybe? It's obviously pretty busy already, but somehow it seems like it needs a little more oomph. Any suggestions?

You're so darn talented. I love it. :)
ReplyDeleteHm. I'm thinking belt. Skinny belt. Black, or white, depending on shoe choice.
I love it....so cute. I'm thinking a necklace, funky earrings or perhaps a funky bracelet would add some fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if it would fit mum :)
I love this dress, and I want it!!! I'm def. putting the show on my calendar....
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE the design of your clothing! Where can I buy if I don't live in Maine?
ReplyDeleteThat's so nice to hear, thank you!! I do have an Etsy site: www.filiacollection.etsy.com. It's a little of this, a little of that :).
