Moustache Man and I are going on a badminton adventure.  With a yummy sandwich in tow, I think it’s going to be a pretty dandy Saturday afternoon.

polka dots + moonbeams

I popped into Buttons & Bows a couple weeks back and picked up this polka dotted number.  It’s easily become one of my favorite dresses and I’m sure it’ll be a staple in my summer wardrobe.  In other news, I’ve been earnestly trying to break in my hi-topperoos by kicking, scuffing and general dirt stomping.

pleats please

Ever since Peter Jensen made his tulle front dress, I’ve been interested in silhouettes that play with layered texture.  The strand dress has a pleated front panel that layers over a strapless power mesh slip.  Adding the cincher belt gives some shape, but allows the pleats to move freely.  Knotted belts look cool, but can be fussy (you need a good vintage belt that’s soft enough to loop and stay), so I made it fully fashioned, with a metal hook to fasten at center back.

I’ve been working on my portfolio . . . just getting my hand back and sketching things I’d like to wear.  I’m anxious to give the croquis more personality and dress them in my designs!
