Liz

For as long as I can remember, Liz has always been a dear friend to me. Our friendship began many moons ago when our daughters attended the same dance school. But as time would have it, life and responsibilities take their toll and sometimes you lose touch.. Fast forward some years, it would take something called a mutual accaintance and an email address to reconnect us. When it did, It was as if time hadn't passed (besides the kids getting bigger and an addition to my family) we picked up right where things left off. So when I posted this halfway done dress on IG it was no surprise to see that she "liked" it. But that would be an understatement. Apparently,  I was not the only person missing a hunter green dress in their wardrobe. She eventually texted me and asked if the dress was completed.  "Yeah, why", I asked. "Because I want it". And that began my departure with this amazing dress. Not only is this pattern a beauty, but I hit a winner with the fabric choice. Thank god for fabric stashes! I used Vogue 8825, which comes together rather quickly,  or in my case during a snow storm. Nonetheless, a few hours. I added 1 inch to the bodice top and another 2 inches to the skirt. But that was when the dress was for me. I had to alter it some for lovely Liz. My only dilemma now, I'm still missing a green "something" in my closet!






Then this happened...

With Love,
 NYC!

  1. That is a lovely dress! You are so nice to give it to your friend. I love the substantial wrap part, it really emphasizes the waist.
