Today’s DIY has been in my head for a long time…and in my sewing room for almost as long. I’ve had it “almost finished” since about February 3rd! If you follow my Etsy shop, then you might remember my New Year’s Resolution to create a new dress every month using that month’s birthstone. Well, here on February 21st, I’ve finally finished February’s dress.
It’s hard to tell by the photos, but the dress is a true Amethyst purple – very rich and deep in color, I love it! I think this color purple looks fabulous on ANYONE!!!
For this dress, other than the color amethyst, I was also inspired by all the rain and snow that has been taking place all over our great state this month. I was standing in line somewhere (at the post office probably), and the person in front of me had a darling little trench coat on. “Hmmmm. I feel a new dress coming on.” I knew right then that February’s dress just HAD to be “IN THE TRENCHES”… a little form of a trench coat – but without all the bulk and masculinity! And, I think it’s super fitting that I should finish this dress today because Austin is expecting 3 to 4 inches of snowfall – right now it’s snowing the biggest, fluffiest snowflakes I’ve ever seen in Texas!
I’ll try to get a picture of it on an actual human being sometime soon! Happy Winter everyone!
