Comment by Trish Blair on June 6, 2011 at 4:27am: Hi, we are going to get snow in New South Wales this week - today I could feel the wind chill factor. So here I am inside in front of the heater for my photo!

The pattern is I think from the 50s Fair a few years ago - $8A I think?

The fabric is from Ikea - I loved it when I saw it and grabbed it - $30A

Zip is at the side - $2A?

I have always wanted to wear a dress like this but I don't think gathers are that flattering on me - but I really wanted to try it out! It would be perfect for a scorching Sydney day - when sleeveless is the only option - with lots of sunscreen and a big hat.

Do you like my print on the wall in the background? She is so summery - I love her!

Comment by Jen on June 6, 2011 at 5:57am: Your dress has come up a treat Trish - lovely (and the gathers look fine!) She is a nice and summery picture. I'm freezing in VIC.

Comment by Cathe on June 6, 2011 at 6:24am: I love this dress on you Trish! The fabic and cut is really perfect. I had to laugh, I'm the same way, I think something won't work for me and one day give it a try and find out how much I really do like it!

Yes I do like the lovely lady on your wall, I was thinking tropical setting until I read snow (sorry).

Comment by Trish Blair on June 6, 2011 at 6:57am: thanks ladies, Cathe, you know how you can hear your mother's voice saying, "You shouldent wear gathered skirts" I can't get over it!

Comment by Cathe on June 6, 2011 at 10:27am: Yes, yes to this day I hear that voice…why does it still linger and hold us back?

Comment by margueritedesigns on June 6, 2011 at 12:01pm: I think I would have snapped up that print too - and yes, I love your painting.

Comment by Ann Jensen on June 6, 2011 at 1:00pm: I don't follow you on the 'gathering not being flattering' on you - I think you look smashing!

Comment by Amber Korte on August 30, 2011 at 1:00pm: I adore this fabric, very nicely done!
