Swing dress the REAL showing party


Yes, I kinda messed up last week: Casey had postponed the final party and I hadn't read about it. So, here are a couple more shots of my dress. I hope I'll be able to wear it without a cardigan and tights soon... After three days of non-stop rain, it's finally sunny today! :)
Even though I don't seem in a "party" mood, I really happy with my final dress and with the sew-along in general... I learned a lot! So thanks again, Casey!
Here is a list with all the other finished dress. Go check it out!

 
While I'm here writing, I want to wish a happy 150th birthday to Italy and all the best to my fellow Italians out there. Let's hope our country is going to be better soon!

  2. Hello!

    I found your blog through the sew along. Your dress turned out wonderfully! I like the way you've styled it here. I can't wait to try this pattern for myself soon.

    I wondered if you might tell me what brand of shoes you are wearing in these pictures? If I could find a way to get them in the US my feet would be so happy!! Thanks!

    Hello to you and thank you so much for the compliments! :)
    The shoes are from a French brand called Pimkie which (I believe) is only available in Europe... Hope you can find something similar!

  4. Your dress is so cute, and I love the way you've styled it with shoes, tights, and cardigan. I'd like to figure out how to wear my vintage-style clothes with more modern accessories. Great job!
