Dear multi-coloured polka cotton.

You make the most amazing dresses.

I'm really pleased with this dress. I've always been a sucker for a splash of vivid colour on a black outfit, and when I saw this multi-colour polka dot print in the store I knew it had to be a dress.

The whole thing is lined in bright red pongee, all seams are hidden, everything is hemmed well, and it fits beautifully. I was originally going to simply use my boat neck pattern but I thought a high neckline was a bit too "sweet" for this fabric and colour combination.

I've paired it with blood red boots, but all my photo-shopping has taken most of the colour out. Such a shame, as they are the most beautiful colour. The gorgeous green necklace I'm wearing is courtesy of my wonderful mama (you can contact her about jewelery at kaylenemary@hotmail.com) and is one of the great loves of my life.

On to the photos. I had a great time fixing the colour gradients with these images. I like to try and get them to look more like paintings than actual photos, and of course the vintage tint just makes me melt.

I will be listing this as an option on my etsy store shortly. It is an empire waist, box pleated, vintage-style dress and will retail custom for $103.95USD. I'm still working on my off the rack prices and will only be creating standard size RTW dresses if enough interest is expressed.

Dear Floral Print Cotton.

This dress is so cute, and super comfy.

This one is a size small with a bust adjustment (as mentioned previously, I don't really fit standard sizes well) and will be available custom sized on my etsy store for $103.95 shortly. I can make these out of any fabric imaginable (there's a great selection of different coloured polka dot cotton at my local store) and the dress is fully lined in a complementary colour of pongee lining.

There are absolutely no raw edges - I conceal my raw edges as opposed to over locking everything, which greatly increases the durability of the garment. If you want to wear the dress with a petticoat under it you can mention it in the notes to seller and I will either omit the underskirt or increase the width to accommodate the petticoat.

On to the photos!

Dear Internet.

I drink far too much coffee.
