donna mel said... i thought this dress looked 80's in the magazine, but not on you. i am glad to see what the sleeves looked rolled down. if i make it i would shorten them, as rolling can be a pain. i especially LOVE your fabric. dying the blue was a great idea. 9/9/09 7:51 AM

MissCelie said... LOL at the medieval. I love this dress and made it just about the same. But, you're right. No belt and it's no good. 9/9/09 9:33 AM
Primatoidefutile said... Thank you very much for you kind comments. Donna Mel, I unfortunately can assure you that in the mirror, it does look eighties...
I found the sleeves to be a bit long when they are worn down, but I made a narrow hem without reading the instructions, so maybe this was not what was called for.
Cidell, well, I don't understand the medieval either (neither the shape, nor the pleats, nor the color...). But two made the comment independently... 9/9/09 2:25 PM

Primatoidefutile said... magoe6217, this is the beach of St Nazaire, where the Loire reaches the sea. It looks good, but is almost completely covered with alluvial mud from the river. I am not a big fan of regular sandy beaches, but to sink to the ankle by surprise was a bit much, even for me.

Thank you! 1/5/10 1:58 AM
