Hug A Tree Dress

~ Hi, you caught me in the act! ~

It was really hot out.  And the air con was not functioning in my room at school, nor do the windows open.

So that shady tree looked real inviting...

~ mmmmm ~

The dress is a lovely cotton print made into Vogue 1400 designed by Guy Larouche.  Basically a shirt dress with a few twists.  Like no buttons, collar or cuffs; a deep front and back slit opening which I raised a bit; cargo-like front chest pockets; and side seam pockets.  Oh and peek-a-boo shoulders which I didn't even notice on the pattern until I started sewing.

~ big pockets for storing chest cargo ~

Nor will you see the peek-a-boos in my pictures either.  Apparently even the photographer missed them.  Ah well. 

I made the necklace out of bits and pieces awhile ago.

closing the back slit neckline.  I actually matched the print up somehow or other.

So tasteful, don't ya think?

I'm late, but still making it to Patti and the Visibles at Not Dead Yet Style, Catherine's I Will Wear What I Like, and Cherie's Shoe and Tell.  See you all there!
