The Hundred Dresses

When I get bored I have the bad habit of looking at dresses on Etsy. Luckily I am very experienced at Fantasy shopping and only buy the things I absolutely cannot live without. I saw this little beauty in BetaBoutique’s Shop and I had to have it. I just hope it fits!

Most of the things I find are out of my price range but I still enjoy admiring them. Here are my latest finds that are inspiring a growing list of ideas for projects I want to attempt once I actually know my way around a sewing machine. Alexia, my incredibly talented and crafty older sister, is starting a weekly sewing class and I am so excited to finally learn some basics. Our first project is a simple tote and then we are moving on to making a skirt (with a zipper!). I set a goal for being able to make myself a dress by my Birthday in August. I doubt it will be as complicated as any of the dresses I have obsessed over lately but someday…

I am obsessed with this dress and the ric rac detail. It would be so amazing on a skirt too.

I’ve never bought a pattern but this one was really tempting. I love the way the stripes are used in different directions.

I love the cut-outs on the shoulders of this gorgeous dress. I can’t get 40’s fashion out of my head now.

Oh dresses. I don’t think I will ever have enough.

I need a new copy of this one.
