This dress is just so meh. The fabric is cool, but on my skin it looks so gross. I need to stop buying fabric with a beige background. I thought the pleat detail would be cool, but it just looks like a shapeless bundle of crap. I finished this at least two weeks ago, but was unmotivated to take pictures.
The front: meh. The back: meh. Meh!
Close-up? Meh. You can't even see the details. Also, it has no closures and is meant to just pull over your head, but it is like trying to crawl through a small tube.
The sketch looks nice though. Oh Vogue and your false promises! It is nicely made, though. Maybe I will sell it on etsy.
It's very nice and if you don't like it I know someone out there would love it. It looks like a career type dress perfect for a dressy office. You should try it again in a more solid colored fabric, the fit is really good.
ReplyDeleteI like it very much, even nicer than the sketch.
ReplyDeleteI think the dress looks great. Dress it up with some heels I think, and style your hair differently? I see potential with this. Fits you well, I think it looks great :)
ReplyDeleteI know you didn't exactly plan to camouflage yourself next to the brick wall, but you do need more vibrant colors. Also camouflaged are the lines of the pockets.
ReplyDeleteI actually think this looks great on you, especially the gorgeous neckline detail. And I don't see a problem with the colour!?! I'm sure if you wanted to sell it though, it would get snapped up pretty fast!
ReplyDeleteI really like the style on you actually but I agree about the colour. You look great in bright happy colours! Try the style again I say maybe in a solid colour - I think it will be great!
ReplyDeleteLove the style on you, but I'm with you on the color - I held onto a piece of fabric with a beige background until i realized that I am too pale to pull it off. I like the fit and details, and if you did decided to keep it, could you add a colorful cardigan and a colored belt to maybe break up the beige a bit?
ReplyDeleteThe bodice is just so puffy with the pleats, I think it would look really bunchy?
