And spring has arrived in my mailbox, courtesy of Stella McCartney via Bergdorf Goodman.
Pre-ordered, with an expected January delivery, I thought it would brighten my winter spirits. And here it is ready for me to jet away to warm climes for the holidays, although it would work for a holiday party as well. In reality I shall probably display it on my sewing room wall while I dream of spring, both sartorially and physically.
The cut is simple. It is true I could have made if except that I could not, in all likelihood, have found this fabric, and I bought this dress for the fabric more than anything else, or perhaps for the perfect combination of cut and fabric.
I can say however, that the shape skims the body and looks slimmer on me than on the model even though she is far far slimmer than I. Or perhaps I am just deceiving myself. But then I am all for a bit of self deception on occasion, it is the perfect armament against the vagaries of life.
Oh and it is longer as well, hitting just above the knee on my 5'9" frame.
