Hmmm scrumptiousAnd I found the perfect pattern in this wonderful Japanese sewing book,
Robe blanche
Robe rougeSo zzzzzzz (onomatopoeic for 'sewing machine') :
Robe forestiere -shall we say?
Yup shortened hem. 't Was all the fabric I had
On the subject of dresses, we TOUJOURS have RIEN to wear n'est-pas, so here are -from France where girls are most definitely girls- some snazzy young Parisian blogmuzes to help along with elementary choices for ze wardrobe (don't be discouraged by the French, just feast your eyes!) :
La gazette de Zess : such a sweetie...
Jeunedemoiselle : candy candy
The cherry blossom girl : we're all mad about her oui oui oui
Punky b's fashion diary : Robe jaune (1/3/08)
Le monde de Tokyobanhbao : Japan in France, such fun!
I'll leave you with some very very inspiring photo's (from a found W Magazine. september 2007 issue). I adore the abundance of colours a graphic depth in the fabrics or cuts, the sweetness of the photography (those wonderfull hazy-airy spaces), the childlike girlposes...
Yves Saint Laurent dress
Chloe dress on French toast shirt
Comme des Gracons dress with Diesel skirt
Oh that skirt!
Enjoy the upcoming week les copines!
