What could be more British than the seaside and typical British weather?! Here I am on the Norfolk coast ... windswept to say the least, on the first of what I hope will be many days out this coming summer. I'm wearing Colette 'Crepe' - my second version, with the sweetheart neckline this time and in the fabric I originally chose to use when we had Colette patterns week. I've made a toning raspberry red sash. I've used a smaller size than the last one and added a couple of extra inches to the length which seems better for me. I thought the denim jacket would provide an overall contrast to the prettiness of the floral. This is such a versatile pattern and I can see so many possibilities with it ... coordinating fabrics, trims etc ...

perfect summer dress, just not so perfect summer weather. Looks more like our autumn. I do like the dainty summery dress with a denim jacket.

Oh, Diane, your dress is really sweet and adorable, I love the contrast with it!

Thank you! Just realised that those two flags in the background make it look like I'm wearing 'deely boppers' on my head - remember those?!

I cheated a bit Oona, because I made this the week after ..., so just one challenge a week really, like everyone else.  I really like my denim blazer but I think it's too long for a short skirted dress.  Looks ok with a long skirt or trousers though.  I think this jacket is better with the Crepe (but I didn't make it unfortunately!).

Is that Hunstanton?!  I love the dress, Crepe is on my list.
