Mary Beth tipped me off to this dress, by NotAMermaid, which was featured on SewRetro (which I do read, but am behind on … I seem to have inadvertently developed a time machine, as I am always living about two days behind everyone else).
Isn’t it lovely? I’m so pleased to know that someone else is so desperate for summer that they’re making lemonade-themed dresses. It makes me want to schedule a impatient-for-summer meetup; I’ll wear my popsicle dress and she can wear her lemonade dress and then we’ll have a picnic in the park. Wouldn’t that be great? Unless, of course, it snows. (Sometimes it snows in April.)
I’ve never met NotAMermaid in person (as far as I know!), but I’m pretty sure we’d have a lot in common, based solely on this (midriff band!) dress. It’s pretty much perfect, I think the only thing I would have done differently is pipe the midriff band in green (although I admit that could be read as being a bit over-the-top) …
What are some other summer-themed dresses we could throw out there, as a challenge for other summer-anticipators? Something with a bathing-suit print of course (SO much much easier to wear a bathing-suit print than an actual bathing suit); mint juleps and/or iced tea (not literally; I’m thinking a light brown dress with green banding); that great picnic-tablecloth fabric with the little ants printed on it (I’ve always wanted to make a circle skirt out of that); a dress in large tiered multicolored stripes (like a beach ball) … so numerous options, so many, numerous long and somewhat freezing weeks until summer.
Oh, I turned off moderation … too numerous people’s comments were getting lost and those thrice-damnéd spammers (shhh! don’t draw their attention!) seem to have found other blogs to bother. Unless the spammers come back in force I probably won’t turn it back on.
