This dress is my current favorite.
It's a bit of a collaboration between the lovely Sveta Darling on Etsy and myself (99% of it is all her, I only sewed the collar and mustard-y bow). It is stitched out of a beautiful deep blue velvet, and is so comfy and lovely.
I coffee-stained the cuffs for good measure, and they look antiqued and sweet:
Something about the dress reminds me of Dusty Springfield (or someone like Dusty Springfield).

What a pretty dress! It's a shame that advertising constraints mean that editors like myself can rarely shoot independent designers. LLG xx

Love the little additions and adjustments you made to it!! And thanks for the link to Sveta's shop... I'm coveting several of her dress designs. ;)

It really makes me think about something that could easily be from an impressionist piece from the cut and adjustments you've made to this dress.

Such a cute look! I love how you've "antiqued" the cuffs with coffee. What a clever birdy.
