Adventures in self portraiture.

I used a vintage jumper-style dress pattern for the fabric part of the dress and made up the crocheted bodice. My almost-five-year-old son said, "I'd like it better if the straps were narrower," which I thought was an astute critique.

I thought that I wasn't going to want to wear it until I put the t-shirt under it. Now I think it will be in normal rotation.

	kat coyle says: I love the colors, aqua and red, so bold and striking. The dress looks great on you. Your son has some fashion sense but wider straps are way more wearable and it looks just right with a tshirt underneathe. All the details are so well done. Posted 11 months ago. ( permalink )
