Oh my Maw......this is delightful. It looks great on you! I love your fabric choice. Cotton is sure to keep you cool and the yellow is summer bright! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much.. I love this dress..super easy to wear.. The photos not so good..It was 103 degrees when we tried to get the pictures taken..SWEAT was pouring.ha.
DeleteSuch a pretty dress, and the colour looks great on you. I love yellow - but it doesn't love me :)
ReplyDeleteThankyou .. I really like yellow..[It is a new one for me.. I always tend to go with red--my favorite- but this summer ,its yellow.lol]
DeleteWhat a great colour on you and a lovely job too! I love the slightly puffed sleeves.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Liz, I wasn't sure about the puff in the sleeves,ha.
DeleteThat yellow is a perfect color! Great dress.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Stacie, I really like it ..So easy and comfortable to wear. This fabric was and is actually my muslin , I intend to do it in another fabric too.
DeleteJudy, this dress is fantastic on you.. Yellow is my fav colour ...
ReplyDeleteThankyou Rachel.. You know Red is my favorite color , but have been drawn to yellw.
DeleteI know yellow looks fantastic on you, with that dark hair.. so pretty..[Hey maybe, because mine "use to be dark" is why I like yellow.hahahhaha
oh the best dress and the best colour.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Charlotte.. I like the wrap style.. And this one , wasn't too low.. ha.
ReplyDeleteYay Judy, love your lovely yellow wrap dress! It's so summery and pretty, perfect for this heat! I think you have conquered the wrap perfectly!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Cathe, I like it too.. It is actually 'one of the many muslins' I am going to make it in a better quality fabric too.. [Time---need more time,ha].
DeleteJudy....oh my, this turned out lovely! And, yes,fitting our muslins as we mature...sigh...work, but necessary, and worth every minute of the time. Everything 'shifts'! Went zipper-hunting today, and was dismayed at the price+quality of the fabric I saw...but have some close-by shops to hunt out! Keep at it...you inspire me!
ReplyDeleteHi Deedy,
ReplyDeletethankyou so much.. You are so sweet..
I agree fabric price and quality is really bad now adays.. I am one of those people that watch the fabric stores for sales.ha.
You also inspire me.
That is so pretty! Fresh and sweet looking. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThankyou Margo, It is really cool and comfortable.
DeleteDear Judy,
ReplyDeleteYou look like a princess! I just love the color...unfortunately, yellow hasn't always loved me. I just found a summery yellow/orange combination that I'm going to try...I'll let you know how it turns out!
BTW, how is your sweetie doing lately? We continue to hold you both up in prayer. Has he been to the physical therapist much this spring?
Sweet blessings, dear one,
Laura
Hi Laura, now "princess look alike".. I don't think so.hahhahaha.
DeleteThankyou so much. I really like the wrap dress, but I have had soooooooo much trouble getting one to work.. ALl the patterns are too low cut and when I try to raise the neckline ,it would mess up the fold over.eeeeeeeeh.. But found this vintage pattern, and it worked.yea!!!
Kenny did start PT and went about 5 wks, it made him worse, and the doctor stopped it for now. So he has kinda had a set back.. But we know God is with us and it will all get better. He has plans for His children.. we must be patient and wait upon Him.. Sometimes this is very hard for me..
Hugs sweet Laura.
OK, OK, if you don't want to be "princess"...you can be the "queen" and I'll be the "princess"! And we'll wear matching Minnie Mouse dresses!
DeleteContinuing to pray for Kenny. One of our dearest friends and neighbors, Bob, was just diagnosed with spinal stenosis...he can't even walk out to the end of his driveway with severe pain. They've started water therapy...but he is very discouraged. Back pain is one of the worst pains there is, I think.
With love and hugs,
Laura
Laura, I am sooo sorry to hear about your friend, Bob.. I will add him to my prayer list.
DeleteThankyou for your prayers.. SO wonderful to have a prayer partner.
OK Princess... we will "think about" our minnie mouse outfits..hahaha
Great dress!!! This is a very flattering style. I will have to look for this pattern or one like it. Looks very smart and comfortable.
ReplyDeletethankyou so much. I really like this dress and it is so easy and comfortable to wear.
DeleteI have bought several modern wrap dress patterns, but they are too low cut. and every time ,I tried to raise the neckline, it messed up the wrap part.. So frustrating.ha I found this vintage pattern on ebay, and it was so easy..
If you can't find this pattern, I will be glad to copy it off for you..It is a larger size, [which i needed,yuck!] but you could grade it down to fit you? Just let me know. I dont mind at all.
Bless you! I know what you mean about low cut. I made a top and cut the neck line at a size 8 (that is NOT my size but I thought it would be the highest neck) Needless to say it was still too low. I made a white cami with lace look-a-like so I can bend over without showing all.
DeleteVery nice dress I love the yellow it's a great fit....
ReplyDeleteThankyou.. The wrap dress patterns, have really got me.lol I kept trying the modern patterns and the front was too low.. I bought this pattern..And I really like it. this was my last muslin and turned into a wearable one.yea. So, I am going to do another one, out of the orignal fabric.
DeleteThis is such a great dress! I think it would be perfect for an Olivia style if you modified the collar. Wrap dresses are so flattering and comfortable aren't they?! I love how this one looks on you : )
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy to send you a copy of my pattern to you if you'd like it - just shoot me an e-mail ; )
Thankyou Eva Girl. I apprecaite it.You are too sweet..
