What I'm Wearing | After the rain, there's a rainbow...

...and after a storm, there's calm.
This is such a happy dress!  The spectrum of colors remind me of the rainbow.  And how apropos on a day that was gloomy with rain and storm clouds.
This day was like life is at times:  full of gloom and cloudiness.  And yes, sometimes there are storms.  But the storms do pass.  And out comes the sun and the rainbow, signifying a better future and a hopeful tomorrow.  It's been raining a lot here, and almost everytime I spot a rainbow.  It's a constant reminder of something awesome is coming my way!
Wearing:  Vogue 8870.  See the original review here.

    Beautiful! You look lovely! And wow, I normally pooh-pooh such simple patterns but you've convinced me to give this one a whirl.

  8. Erika I really like this dress, and I think might sew it myself. Do you think it would make up nicely out of gauze?

    1. Alicia, I think it would look amazing in gauze! This design would sew up fabulously in that crinkly texture. Thanks!
