Have you, my friends, heard the story of twin dresses?
No?
Let me tell it to you then.
Once upon a time, there were two sister dresses - in fact, they were twins, though not identical twins. One was a playful large polka dot dress, almost as large polka dots as you can imagine. She had a big and bold personality and made everyone happy and giggly to just look at her. Her sister had more of a soft, gentle and tender spirit, which felt refreshingly lighthearted and made everyone's heart melt just to look at her.
The Girl Who Loved Dresses once crossed their path. The Twin Dresses' charm and unique beauty made her swoon.
"Oh dear sweet Polka Dot! Oh darling Spring Floral! Do come home with me," she said.
"I have just the right spot in my closet for you, where you'll be surrounded by good friends and neighbors," she said.
"I will take you to all the fun places I know about, and we will live so happily together," she said.
The Twin Dresses agreed, and the girl took them home with her, to hang out with her other friends and neighbors, go to pretty parks, smell roses and play with bunnies, have delicious food in nice restaurants, converse with interesting people and learn fun things together. The girl took photographs of them and sketched them in her sketchbook, and the Twin Dresses were really pleased.
(Bigger versions of the sketches HERE.)
And so the Polka Dot with her big and bold personality, and her sister Spring Floral with her gentle, tender spirit lived with the Girl Who Loved Dresses happily ever after.

Thank you, JJ! Breezy is a good word for them :)
Deletehihi - such a cute story! <3
ReplyDeleteyour dresses are very pretty on you! my fav ist the bold, dotted one. but even the flowery dress has something bold because of the scale of the flowers and the bright colors - fab!
do you know what? once i have a pattern that works for me i sew lots if sisters for my dresses, skirts, blouses etc. - nobody recognizes it because people only see the colors/prints :-)

You are a wise woman, Beate! And why shouldn't we use the same pattern over and over again if we really love the style? It only makes sense. :) Much love to you!
DeleteAmazing dresses. They fits perfect Natalia. I love it, if one pattern, that works good for me, in many colours and designs is avaiable.
ReplyDeleteSoo lovely pictures :)
Send you much love and a very good time.
Thank you, Tina! I can't wait to style the polka dot with boots for Fall. :)
DeleteHow smart-find a pattern you love the style of and switch up the color combo. They seem so different, burrow equally lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sam! I adore dresses. I wish I could find more of this style. :)
DeleteOh you smart woman, find a great dress and buy two! Good work, my dear, well done!
ReplyDeleteI know, right? :) Thank you, Tiina!
DeleteThe dresses have found a good home and will no doubt enjoy being out and about. Even though they are twins they really look so different.I also love the drawings. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you like my little sketches, Jill! :)
DeleteI love flowers dress!!! marvelus like you!
ReplyDeleteSo thrilled to hear it from you! Thank you :)
DeleteI love flowers dress!!! marvelus like you!
ReplyDelete:) :) :)
DeleteTwo fab dresses - the polka dot one is gorgeous. If you're going to do spots go large or go home! The floral number is very 1980s, they did bold flowers so well.
ReplyDeleteLike Beate I've got a favourite dress pattern and have made several in quirky prints, nobody notices as the pattern does the talking. xxx
Love both those dresses on you! Two great summer looks :)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
