rose print dress

Oh, has it been so long? I have a few projects going on in the background, keeping me busy... all will be revealed soon enough :) But here is a new day, a new post and a new dress. I have been wanting more floral dresses lately, especially shorter skirted, flirty ones. It was fate, then, that I met this one just a few days ago. I love the cute rose print, and didn't want to wait for warmer weather to wear it.



And it has been really cold here in Melbourne lately – I don't think I show just how cold on here! This is for wearing indoors; big coats and gloves and hats make going outside more comfortable now :) It is still Australia, though; cold here is 13C, and I know that is just mild for a lot of you! I got this 1960s (I think, I'll find out proper like) knitted jacket about a year ago, and it seems to go with so many things. I love its puffed shoulders, and the details on the body; it gives it some shape, and I like a bit of shape in things! I struggle to find good cardigans and jumpers and so on, and really do need to stock up...





Another thing I have really, really wanted lately is a shorter full and frilly petticoat, for wearing under dresses like this. I might see if I can make one... and if I do manage it, you'll be the first to know!



This dress has little bows on the shoulders, because, hey, yep, I like bows, but I think you already know that :) And I have finally got a pink lipstick! I was so wary of leaving the red behind at all, but I really, really like the pink, too. And it is nice to wear pink with pink! It is one of my favourite colours, after all...
