Lemonade Dress
Hey guys! It is AUGUST 1!! WHOA. Like can you really believe it?!
Listen. There have been some huge changes and I had to take some time off from blogging to get settled and get into an extremely new routine. A lot of you have been following me since the very beginning…wayyyyyyy back in 2006. I always say when I started blogging Jaelyn was NINE years old. She is now TWENTY and about to start her 3rd year of college. That’s a LONG time.
Over the next couple of weeks I’m going to get very personal. I haven’t decided if I’m going to do a blog post OR send a newsletter. I’ll decide so if you haven’t signed up for the newsletter go ahead and sign up.
Let’s talk about this dress:
If you guys knew what MONTH I took this picture you would be like, uhhh girl you just now posting this!? LOL. This was made right around the time of the Beyonce Lemonade album lol. So yeah. Some where around there lol.
This is such a fun dress and I surely had fun taking pictures in it. Can’t you tell!?
Clearly you can tell that I absolutely love this dress. When I saw the fabric I just had to have it. I mean come on.
You guys know how I feel about yellow. Add studs and it’s a winner.
This can easily go from day to night. Throw on a jean jacket and some flats and it’s perfect
for a day of shopping. Speaking of jean jacket, I have lost my all time favorite one. I did shed a tear…or six.
I love this style dress on me. Fit and flare is my favorite. I know it looks good on my shape and I wear it ALL the time.
When you know what works, WORK IT!
This dress is indeed twirl worthy! I love it.
This fabric is no longer available.

Adrienne – the dress is lovely! And I have been following you since Jaelyn was 9. I remember the conversations we had about hair braiding and little girls. When our lives are measured by our children they do seem to go very fast when we look back. Not so fast during the living of them though! *LOL* I hope that all is well with you and your family.

Hello Long time no blog. I miss seeing your clothes. What pattern is this or is it self drafted. I love it. How did you get so good at fitting? Fitting is my struggle. Love the dress.

Hey! This one is self drafted. It was a lot of trial and error. I still learn something new each and every time that I sew.

You look gorgeous! I’ve been seeing a D&G dress in an almost identical fabric on polyvore, but I like yours a lot better.
