Ya, ya. Some of you have seen this on FB so look away if bored. Reposting here as LJ/DW is slightly less ephemeral than FB.
Anyway. So I've had a compulsion to make sun dresses for some time. I've finally had the first go at acting on that. I've had this cute fabric for a year or two. Is a lovely mid weight silk with tiny printed daisies in raspberry, gold and cream. Then I got an invite to a pink themed, pink ribbon day knitting thing at Morris etc in town... so... this silly little girly sort of 20's frock was inspired. The bonus inclusion that makes it I think are the vintage lace motifs that begged to be put down the front.

It accessorised up quite nicely. And gave me the first excuse I've found to wear my pink straw cloche hat.

The whole outfit just might go out again to a cup day party tomorrow?
