Your picture, however, made be shiver -- today here in Upstate NY, it is very windy and cold. If it were Easter, no one would be wearing a dress like that unless they had a matching coat to go along (and I have to admit that my memory of Easters from when I was, ahem, young, was that everyone had to wear their winter coats and boots to go to church at Easter as we always had snow still on the ground).Toby Wollinhttp://www.kitchencountereconomics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366076016909992831.post-41096132495351830242011-04-16T14:18:07.930+01:002011-04-16T14:18:07.930+01:00I think you've really caught the essence - it ...I think you've really caught the essence - it feels like you could also be going to a birthday tea party - cute!

Also - I'm curious for more info on how you matched up the scallops on the hem - I've done border prints (same concept, really) with a gored skirt (actually, colette parfait) and really struggled with that!!<br /><br />I think you really caught the spirit of the inspiration photo, although you would have gotten FULL POINTS for including a small black handback with a SUPER LONG strap :-) (tee hee)<br /><br />And I don't know if you go back in comments, but you were totally right on with my kid-picture - I'm making a grown up version for the sew weekly challenge...
