I promised pictures of my Sugar Plum dress from Lolita Patterns at least a week ago. Hopefully better late than never ;) Not my usual hairdo today. I pulled it back because I allowed it to dry normally and it is curly and wild.
I should have taken more pictures. My husband was in a hurry, oh well. At least you see the dress on me. It really is a very attractive dress. I want to get a belt made to wear with it as I think it will be a nice touch.
A few of you commented on the sleeve and thought that it might not work for you. It does have the gathering detail, but it can be left off if you like.
And here are my shoes. I have had these shoes for years and years and years. I've always loved them, but for what ever reason, I just haven't worn them very often. Get ready shoes, you're going to do some walkin'!! They are pretty aren't they?!!

ReplyDeleteThanks Shelia. Good to hear from you BTW!!!
DeleteI misspelled your name, so sorry :(
DeleteGreat dress, but those shoes are just glorious. You have the best shoes!
ReplyDeleteIf I see a pair of shoes that I really like, I'll buy them whether I have something to wear them with or not. It seems the perfect outfit always crops up :)
DeleteWoo hoo. You look very 'together'.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think I would also like to make a jacket so I can stretch the dress into fall.
DeleteLove the colors in the dress and shoes. Darling sleeve. Remember to show us the dress with the belt when you get it done.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Joy
I wouldn't have posted it again, so I'm glad you asked. Thanks Joy!
DeleteThe pattern could be quite versatile. I was just thinking that just about any skirt could be paired with the top.
ReplyDeleteYour shoes are pretty amazing and they work perfectly with this dress and the more I see of this pattern the more I am tempted.
ReplyDeleteGreat dress. Great shoes. Great lady!
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks great on you and I like the fluffy hair too. The shoes? They have been waiting for the perfect garment to turn up and it did!
ReplyDeleteGosh your shoes are amazing, the dress is beautiful too. What a wonderful match, I just love the colours, suits you:)
ReplyDeleteThe dress does suit you very nicely - and the shoes are just gorgeous. Your hair looks nice done up - sometimes a very quick solution on those rushed days.
ReplyDeleteWow those shoes are incredible...and go perfectly with your Sugar Plum! You are absolutely right about the sleeve...some testers did not do the gathering at the edge and it turns out just as beautiful.
