Gosh, it feels like I haven't posted a finished project in such a long time!
I've been a little less productive than usual, lately, but still...
Anyways, this cute little dress was finished and photographed in February, but I never got around to blog about it. I didn't like the photos I took then, and I was wearing long sleeves and tights in them, which felt a little out of season, so I just retook them last week.
What can I say about this dress that I haven't said already?
In case you missed them, I made three versions of this dress (1, 2 and 3), and every time I said how much I love this pattern. Heck, it's probably my favorite of all the wide world! Just perfect for me, with the collar, the buttons, and the cute little bow in the back.
This time, I went again with no contrast collar and bow and chose to go will all print. I think a black collar and bow might have been cute, but my initial instinct was to maximize this adorable print. As I wrote above, the fabric I used is the "Vue sur la Tour Eiffel" print by Fifi Mandrac for Atelier Brunette, which I purchased from Supercut.
I fell in love with the little Tour Eiffels, benches and French flags of this fabric immediately. They're a perfect reminder of one of my favorite cities, Paris, and of a beautiful trip I took there in 2009. The light grey background is a bit harsh on my skintone (or lack thereof) right now, and it will look so much better as soon as I have a little bit of tan.
