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.

If only reporters really dressed this well! (They don't.) So gorgeous.
Fantastic! I am loving the color combination and especially the black and white print. I am a sucker for cool geometrics. They go so well together and the pleats at on the top balance this out well and bring some attention to the top. You are so talented! How about a post or two on your technique? Do you envision, then draft a pattern, or do you drape? If so, do you do the whole muslin, pattern, toile thing? Thanks!
Ooooh, I love the origami game!
LOVE it.
seriously. this is amazing.
So stunning!!
I love this! I had to post about it on my blog. I think I created a link.
very pretty! i love the combination of textures and patterns.
I love the stacked green pleats. It's so pretty!
I love the color and black and white combo!
This is totally blowing me away - WOW!!!
This is totally blowing me away - WOW!!!
i love those 2 fabrics together! What a fancy collar!
LOVE IT!!
Stunning! I love all of the pleating. I must learn how to incorporate those details. And I'm loving that color combo, too.
