We took our friend to brunch a couple weeks ago and saw a lady wearing a blue floral block print dress and it seemed like the most ideal thing–soft and loose but also polished, long sleeves so you stay covered/warm but also cool for hot afternoons. Have I made or worn a dress in the last five years? No. Did that stop me from finding inspo on Etsy and looking for fabrics? Of course not!
To be clear, you can buy one of the above ready-made dress off Esty for under $50…but where’s the fun in that, especially when Daughter Judy just released a new shirt/dress pattern?
Besides, you can’t know the quality of your Etsy dress, nor can you get it in blue tigers or PINK AND ORANGE STRIPES:
I actually have a trial dress cut out in an assortment of shirting fabrics I had on hand, which totally makes buying NEW fabric for ANOTHER dress justifiable, right?
