summer's only one


Presenting summer's only creation...

This one went pretty well and fast, so I set my mind on making more of these to brighten up working days, but my love for the sea is stronger. So weekends were spent on the beach. Did right huh?

What I like about this dress is the lining. 

It is sewed to the hem, so no lining moving up when walking or 
showing up when sitting.. hip hip hurrah!

As for the pockets, I abandoned soon enoough the idea 
of making some secret ones, too much work.
So I took the shortcut.

Well, they serve their purpose alright :o)

Although the fabric is pretty stiff (woven and starched, 
bought at a store with fabrics for furnishing, tents etc),
I wore it all summer long without sweating.

Of course you can put the blame on the weather: 
the summer breeze was very very strong in some parts of the aegean sea...
in Serifos

Breeze or not I had a great time with darling big sister,
met old friends, saw new places...
looking forward to next year!
