I'm calling this the 'Oh Dear' frock because that's what Brian said when he walked in the door, yesterday morning. I can't even remember why but I do remember telling him at the time that's that what I would call the dress. And I think it's suiting.The frock is dark navy blue. The material is thin and finespun. I added a built in nylon liner. I also added a band of opaque navy silk-like material at the bottom.
Pleated ruffled nylon lines the neck and bodice. Four navy fabric covered buttons line the front. An interesting detail are the inverted pleats that surround the front of the bodice. I modeled it after this a cool Modcloth frock I saw a couple weeks ago.
This photo shoot took a lot of muscle on my part. I had to push our bed from one end of the room to the other....by myself! It was a busy morning and Brian was getting ready to go to his mother's house. But you know what? I liked it better there. I tried to convince him to keep it that way but at the end of the day we just ended up pushing it back.
But he did get me this modcloth ring for mother's day (it's an inside thing). So he's good in my book.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 304 of 304 Newer› Newest»This dress is gorgeous; I love everything about it, the style, the colour, the pleating, the ruffles and the buttons. It's lovely!
The dress is so darling. I love the navy and the white ruffles. It is such a flattering design.
This one reminds me a little of teaching school...in a good way, because that's what I do, and how cute would I be in this dress :)
This dress is so beautiful and you're doing a giveaway with it! Great job on the details..I'm in love with the lace and the navy colour. <3

I love this dress! It looks so similar to one I've been yearning for at a local store that cost almost one hundred dollars! :(

the dress is AMAZING, and I loved the name. I couldn't help but chuckle :)
Oh Dear indeed! So delicate and proper looking! Another gorgeous dress!
Linked to blog also!
LOVE this dress! You have the most incredible style and talent!
I absolutely love the delicate trim. Your photoshoot so wonderfully highlights the tone of the dress.
That dress is so gorgeous and vintage-looking! Please enter me. Thanks. :-)
This is absolutely amazing! I've always wanted to create clothing, but my sewing isn't that advanced and my patience is low for my non-working sewing machine.
Hope to win it! And congrats to whoever does!
Happy spring!

The dress is beautiful! If I win it, I'm going to give it to my beautiful cousin, Whitney. She's so sweet and caring and does lots of sweet things for others. She's also the one who posted the link for me to read about. I would love the dress for myself, but I think she deserves it more! Thank you for being so kind to do a give away.

Ugh! It's beautiful! I'd love to be this talented...
wow... love it... so 60's!!!
You work is absolutely beautiful.
I stumbled across your blog via stumpleupon. Boy am I happy I did; I am a junior in college, so I don't have much time for crafting and what not; now that I am home for the summer, I have stolen my mother's sewing machine and plan on taking full advantage of it.
By the way, I'm really excited about your 'Frock by Friday'; big pieces really intimidate me, but your tutorial makes Coffee Date look relatively easy (or easy enough to handle)
So beautiful!!!
Just discovered your blog. Love it! I'm hoping to try your Frock by Friday someday soon. The "Oh Dear" Frock is adorable.
This is so beautiful. I love it!
oh dear, this is absolutely sweeeeeeeet! I LOVE IT! I wish I could create something like this... you know what, I think I'm going to TRY IT. Somehow. HOPEFULLY! :)) Thanks for being the inspiration!
