Here it is, pre turkey, pre eyelash application but post Christmas cocktail - which with hindsight was possibly the wrong order of doing things.
We had to get the bus to my friend's apartment for lunch and I felt so silly in the drag queen eyelashes I wore sunglasses, which looked almost as crazy. Ok maybe not....
Hope you all had a lovely time, we are winding down now but enjoying seeing England thrashing the Aussies at cricket!
The dress is just fab - and still giggling at the eyelashes. I call myself an Aussie in most things, except when it comes to the Ashes - go the Poms! And cricket watching is a great accompaniment to sewing.
Your dress looks lovely and just right for the holiday. I was wondering what the dress patten would look like made up in a solid color fabric. The draping looks terrific. What fun eyelashes!
Such a gorgeous dress! I want one too! I probably should care that we're getting flogged in the cricket, but I really don't! The eyelashes are a bit funky, I have no idea how you get those things to stay on, I've never had any success with them, lordy knows I've tried! anyway, great outfit, & best of all, you can wear that dress again (did I mention I LUV it?!)
Don't mention the cricket! At least the torture is now over. On to the tennis I say :) Great Christmas dress and fun lashes. Hope Santa was kind to you.
Gorgeous dress--so incredibly flattering! I really must get around to that pattern, I have a deep magenta wool jersey earmarked for it. Love the lashes, too. What fun!
Haha - I'm still working on my "Christmas" dress! Now it's just a red knit dress with no occasion attached. I'm glad you got yours done because it's just gorgeous!
I've just discovered your blog and am so enjoying it! I own many of the dress patterns you've made, and really like seeing them on a live person! Thanks again for a wonderful blog. ~ Patty
