Your dress is lovely!
In general, I wear patterned shirts and solid bottoms most of the time. A good pattern hides a multitude of sins, and most of mine are on the top of my outfits. :)
I went shopping for some solid cotton knit fabric to attempt to copy a 15-year-old skirt that's become my summer around-the-house-and-yard skirt. It's super comfy and in it's day looked perfect for a casual summer day. The store has been gone for years and the brand no longer exists ... enter the sewing machine. Wish me luck. It's been a looooong time!
(Talk about tangents. LOL)
