If I wasn't sure of it yet, this week I had the confirmation of how awesome and sweet the ladies at the Sew Weekly are.
This week's theme was UFOs, which was the perfect occasion for me to finish a dress I had started in November. I had actually finished my version of the Miz Mozelle dress pattern, but the hem needed to be shortened and I was so underwhelmed by it that I never came around to do it.
If the fact that I didn't like my creation all that much wasn't enough, I had a VERY hard time taking pictures. The weather here has taken a cold turn and I had to step out for pictures with -10° C, which resulted in some terrible faces (and horrible hair, since I didn't style it properly).
All of this resulted in a very disappointing post and yet, all the comments I received were so heartwarming! I am really speechless at all the kind words I read!
Thank you so much, everyone! For those of you who want to know more about the dress, you can read it here (although I must admit I didn't do a great job at documenting the construction, I forgot most of it since November...).
a me piace moltissimo questo vestito, bravissima come sempre!!
ReplyDeletee anche super coraggiosa a uscire con questo freddo a fare le foto :)
Grazie, Giulia!
Deletehow on earth you managed to take these pics?.. i'm freezing just looking at them.. only 'cause i know how bloody cold it is outside (i am sort of winter person, being born in january, but i barely leave the flat these days).. i like the dress, and i like that blue color..
ReplyDeleteI had an headache for the rest of the day: lesson learnt! Yesterday I took outdoor pics again but it was way less traumatic.
DeleteBeautiful pics even if you are freezing your butt off!
ReplyDeleteSo much swearing in my head while I was taking this pictures...
DeleteIt is gorgeous - and fantastic pictures! The weather does look pretty nasty.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel! At least it was sunny, that day!
DeleteYou are a stunner and you always look effortlessly beautiful in your photos no matter what the weather. Love the dress
ReplyDeleteOh, Julia... I guess we have a crush on each other.
DeleteWell I'm glad it's out in the open now!
DeleteChe bello!!! Mi piace tantissimo il colore :)
ReplyDeleteE ti ammiro tantissimo per le foto sulle neve O____O Come direbbe qualcuno: PAzzaaaa!
^___^
Eh, sono stata un po'deficiente, infatti mi sono tenuta un bel mal di testa per il resto della giornata! Però ieri ho ripetuto ed è andata molto meglio!
DeleteI loved your look and your blog.
ReplyDeleteI´m already a follower ;)

Thank you, Cherry :D
DeleteSo cute!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Love that colour but don't have anything in it as it does nothing for my skin tone. As a pair of pants/ a skirt maybe... Thanks for the inspiration. BTW you might want to get discus for your blog-openid tends to be crap on the best of days which means you're basically missing out on comments from anyone that isn't on blogspot/blogger.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I'll look into that!
DeleteGorgeous! That's both the dress and the pictures. I love this pattern and your version is perfect- worth finishing!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! ^_^
DeleteThis is a very pretty dress and color. I love the keyhole detail on the bodice. Looking at the pictures, I really never would have guessed you had a difficult time with it.
