There is something about wax prints that just screams "HAVE A GOOD TIME" to me. Maybe that's why I sent Oona a few yards of this gold peanut print beauty for our Sew Bossy exchange - Oona IS good times personified.
That is also why when I decided to make a very very VERY last minute dress for New Year's, I turned to the scant 2 yards I had left to make something. Something short. Something cleavagey. Something New Yearsy. Now, I know it is now April 24th, and New Years happened many moons ago, but I realized I haven't posted this guy yet. And I have a backlog of projects to be photographed so in the meantime...
Now, it's been so long since this dress was made I don't remember what pattern I used on the bust. But it was just a simple sheath dress from my stash, nothing spesh. I added a circle skirt, just barely eking it out of the little material I had left. I lined it in a rayon bemberg. if I remember correctly, I finished it about 20 minutes before i was supposed to leave for my party. If memory serves, I had a wonderful, drunken night and danced until sweaty and kicked 2012 in it's lousy ass.
Then came home (*intoxicated*) to a burgled home.
Maybe that's why I kept postponing posting this dress. Bad memories.
But I've worn it since and tis a fun party frock and doesn't deserve to be put in the naughty chair because of some jerk with a hammer, amiright?
In the meantime, Argo and I have a belated date. Work has been crazy (I flew to Toronto today to meet with our new, amazing cafe client) and I need a lay down and a brain break. Hope spring is a spring in your step.
