I apologise in advance for the appearance of a yet another white lacy number. I actually made this about a year ago and don’t wear it very much, especially not since I became aware of and then started feeling embarrassed about the glut of white lacy clothes in my wardrobe….I wish I could say I made this teal dress, but it was a birthday gift from my darling husband who wanted to buy me some clothes so I wouldn’t suffer from the creative burden of having to sew my own, without perhaps considering how much I love said burden…. like an addict loves the drug that enslaves them. My friend D first coined this metaphor as it applies to creative types and I relate, really I do. No sooner am I putting the finishing touches onto one project than already my brain is feverishly planning the next sartorial experiment… and I’m really making an effort to slow down and plan more carefully for economy, practicality and versatility!
I do adore this dress, like I do nearly all Metalicus for its spectacular ease of wear combined with intense beautiful colours. With varying degrees of success I’ve tried at times to reproduce some of my favourite items but the difficulty is, as always, getting hold of fabric…. The usual seamstress’ complaint. This dress is from the wool range, and amazingly it’s incredibly cool to wear in summer.
The bag I made about two years ago and first posted about here.
Details:

The whole outfit is beautiful.
this outfit looks beautiful on you! look forward to being able to see what you wear each day even if i cant be on holiday with you xx
I like the whole outfit too, especially white top – I'm a huge fan of cut-out embroidered fabrics.
The color of your dress is awesome! Pairing it with white is the perfect color.
