This is a little summer something I made to wear to work. The top is from vintage Simplicity 8380 (photo on my blog) and the bottom is a standard bottom I've been making for a while now- I've become quite adept at Frankensteining tops and bottoms together. The fabric is Denyse Schmidt. I love how its polka dots, but the colorway lends it all of the advantages (lengthening, slimming) of stripes. And I think the colors work well with my super-fair skin.

This is one of my new attempts to reconcile "retro fun" with "work appropriate"! Its a red polka dot sundress, but I made a simple cotton huck little jacket to workify it. Sadly my photographer cut out my vintage 50s open toe pumps! More pictures of the sundress in its natural state and the pattern i used on my blog (click "ariel" on the right hand column!)
