I can has shiny dress?
I just fell in love with a dress.
I decided that I was allowed to try on a pretty dress that I don't need on my birthday, and it was utterly gorgeous, but sadly a little too small.
It was so perfect though that I might try to draw what I can remember of it and try to get one of you seamstresses out there to make a pattern for me (or even make the thing, as my sewing is slightly iffy). I would of course pay for this service.
The dress is rather 1950s, in dark red taffetta (I adore red taffetta) with white embroidered polka dots. It's a wraparound but with a very flared a-line skirt with a few sewn down pleats on the bum and under the two front patch pockets. Oh, and it has a stand up half collar and slightly puffed short sleaves (with a button).
I'm sure my description doesn't do it justice, but it was wonderfully flattering on my three-hourglass figure - showing off my bust and relatively small waist and hiding my hips and bum under the flare of the skirt.
Want.
Cannot has.
Woe.
*goes to try to draw it from memory*
