The three year old took this photo, thats why my head is half chopped off. Secretly I was thrilled when he did this because my hair is in desperate need of a wash but who has time for such things!
Well here it is.....
.
I made the dress out of some blue cotton from spotlight. I copied the pattern from another dress I found on trade me. It was a really easy dress to make, it only took me abiut 2 hours from start to finish. It is sleeveless with an elasticated waist (yay for eleastic!) The fabric for the original was much more drapey and works a bit better than this blue which is a bit stiff for this pattern and makes me look a little, ahem, pregnant (or so I have been told).The cardi is just a boring ol' black glassons cardi, add some black tights and boots and there you have it.

I LOVE your style Karina. love love love it.
I also think the dress looks fab in that fabric, but maybe the preggo look is more noticable in real life? I have a few dresses like that, from some angles they look fine but side on I can even fool myself into thinking there's another on the way.
The pattern looks a little similar to my 'go-to' dress. Reminds me that I really need to get cracking on making some for summer.
Anywho, to reiterate: beautiful.
Wow, the colour of that dress is just beautiful! I'm a big fan of an easy peasy make it in a couple of hours dress :) It looks great - and definitely not preggo in the pic.
Gorgeous!! :)
