is it march already?!


THAT MEANS IT'S ALMOST SPRING!!!

15 more days before i can wear these dresses. well, i mean, i could wear them now, and laugh in glee with this 75 degree weather we're having, but that would be bad karma. i'll wait.


i actually made these last summer, they were my first dresses-- actually, my first attempt at sewing something for me. you will notice you see no back in these pictures... that is because these dresses have no backs. no, seriously. i frankensteined them so much i no longer acknowledge the existence of their backs.

made with burdastyle patterns!

    No backs? Well, no matter. The fronts look stunning!

    Your "first dresses"??? They look pretty professional to me!!!
    Just stunning! I love them both but especially the colors in the second one. Go ahead and tempt fate and flaunt those dresses!
    What have you got to lose? Maybe it will be 71 degrees instead of 75? You know you live in Eden!!! It's never bad weather for long!

    Love them both-- you're much braver than I am, mixing prints like that, but it looks great! (And so much better than my first sewing attempts-- that's what I get for learning as a kid!)

    thanks becky! by the way, i think a hiking skirt is just genious. GOD i hate shorts, and whoever made shorts hates women in general, as far as i can tell. hope you post a how-to at burdastyle.
