Crazy 70s polyester dresssss

Yes. 
This print.
Just...
Yes.



But the original dress... No.  The high neckline was not working for me.


Neckline close up! I was clearly not stoked.


This dress was originally the Idyllwild T-shirt dress but I used the neckline from Maria Denmark's  Kimono Tee.  I had this vision but it didn't really come to fruition.

 I took in some of the flare out of the skirt during the editing phase and chopped off the neckline for more of a scoop. I was waaaaaayyy happier with the final product!




I'm glad I could do justice to this big ass print. It was WAY bigger than I was expecting cause I ordered online and ya never know!


Woohoo! Sweaty polyester dress for summer! I didn't read the fabric content before I ordered. I learned my lesson and now I pay close attention.


This is seriously cheap material. It's printed on top of white polyester so as the dress gets worn and pills (as polyester seems to do), the pills that form are white. Thankfully it was just $4 a yard.


And here I am with my little friend Xuxa.


Hi, Xuxa!

  1. Xuxa looks like a toy rat terrier. My gandsome Rat terrier Jack looked so similar only a larger version. I know this blog is about that dashing polyester dress, but Xuxa steals the show! Great modeling Emily!
