Amber Dress



My friend Amber asked me to make her a summer dress in the style of a Splendid sun dress she had borrowed from our friend Jean. I love Splendid's colorful knitwear by the way, but sadly they are usually designed for taller women than I!

Amber picked the fabric and colors for the dress, and here's the result! She's quite discerning when it comes to apparel and styling. Note how her gray suede heels dress up the dress. She even remarked on the hand-sewn blind hem, so I'm happy she likes the dress. She did a good job selecting a print. It was hard to picture what this would look like in the fabric store. Hmm...maybe I should enlist her opinion more often.
