My mother once made me a dress when I was a teenager with a sweetheart neckline - I loved it. I wish I had your skill. I'm quite fond of dresses as it's good just to have one item of clothing to think about in the morning. My favourite one is denim and has big pockets.

Gorgeous fabric, and I agree about pockets, always need pockets. Shame about the lack of summer weather for the wearing of. How quickly the sunny days have gone. Always next year though.

I would never have the patience or the skill set. I think it's quite hard to find an all purpose summer dress that you can dress up or down. And one that will last a few years and still look current. You've got that here.<br />Leanne xxLeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617604296746784414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-81673975007036140452017-09-10T20:09:39.369+01:002017-09-10T20:09:39.369+01:00I think your dress is really lovely, and the fabri...I think your dress is really lovely, and the fabric to die for.
