Now, I've been liking the black and white with olive green so doing this as a faux skirt and top dress seemed perfect. I thought this looked like something a reporter from the 50s or a secretary from Mad Men would wear, though maybe a little less short. I've been looking at too many Modcloth frocks lately. They are ALL SHORT.
Hopefully the bathing suit can be up next week....if I ever get the fabric.

What a fantastic dress, yes you can just picture a Lois Lane wearing this as she gets the scoop on Superman :)
Wow! I really don't know what else to say.
Wow!!!
(I especially love the pleats!)
I have such a soft spot for anything olive. Love the newspaper-inspired photo shoot!
I have tons of black and white items in my wardrobe and nothing good to wear them with... looks like I need to get some olive green!
Those colors are AMAZING together! I've never done a giveaway before, because I'd never found a real reason before I was shown this site! That dress is AMAZING!!!

That's one fabulous dress! Love it!
That is so stunning and so my style! Daisy Dayz Home
Love the boldness of the skirt! Great color combo.
I really really love this. The ruffles, the skirt, the beautiful green...sigh...
However, this post (nor any of your more recent posts that I can see) doesn't say what size the dress is. I assume that you're a 6/8 which would make most things you make too small, but I would love to see you add bust/hip/waist circumferences to your giveaways so we could properly judge whether or not to enter.
Thank you for the lovely work/inspiration you do and for giving it away!
what a wonderful dress! i love the ruffled neckline!
I would love to wear this for medical school interviews. It's so chic (and I normally hate ruffles)
