While it may not be a part of my preferred color palette, I have very fond memories of the color orange because of a high school friend. Her favorite sweater was “pumpkin” colored, and simply wearing the color could uplift her mood.
The memory was so positive that I purchased my own pumpkin colored sweater in college as a reminder of her. And yet, I rarely wear the color these days.
Yellow is another color which I am not often drawn towards. But I could not resist this print!
The fact that it is printed on a lightweight rayon helped!
But it did take me a while to figure out just what I was going to do with this fabric. During one of the final heat waves last year, I decided to add another Anna dress to my wardrobe, and this was the fabric that seemed like a perfect choice.
This particular pattern is one that I keep returning to. I love how easy it is to throw on, and how comfortable it is to wear all day long. It is certainly not the most technically perfect pattern ever drafted, but I loved the design the first time I saw it, and I still love it, flaws and all.
I would say that I have probably had my fill of the Anna Dress, but each time I make that statement, another fabric comes along that makes me want to pull out the pattern - so I am not making any promises!

The REAL Lauramae would have knitted her own pumpkin sweater.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is gorgeous, but I wonder aloud if there isn't some meddling in blogland.

Beautiful! That fabric really is perfect for this dress.
ReplyDeletelooks fabulous as an Anna (maybe I need a rayon Anna too ;o)
ReplyDeleteLovely dress, and this color does suit you.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is beautiful. I love the print and colors of the fabric. I think orange suits you quite well!
