July? Oh who knows. But after the whole NYC dress debacle, I think the inspiration behind this month may just have to be S-E-X-X-Y. Unfortunately for me this is a territory that I am not too familiar with. Which is why most of my dresses can safely be described as "cute".
I like sweet florals and flowy full skirts and indiscernible cleavage, but I guess sometimes it's A-OK to shake things up a bit. So this month I am going to try something a little tighter and a little lower cut. The plan is to wear this dress to a September wedding in Brooklyn. Hopefully the plan is also to wear this dress unselfconsciously and comfortably to a September wedding in Brooklyn. For July, the true test will be how I wear the finished product, not just turning scraps of fabric into a finished project. We'll. Just. See.
I have an incomplete picture of this dress in my head. Thus an incomplete sketch. I am thinking deep V, front and back. I like the idea of a longer skirt, but that could change. I also kinda want a belt, but that might change too. I need to find the perfect fabric first! I can't even settle on a color scheme. I can promise that there will be piping. I do love piping.
Well, this should be an adventure.
