Today I have a very colourful dress to show you. This is my fourth African wax print dress and each time I wear the others I swear that I'm going another as they make me so happy. I feel like they fit my style well as they are colourful without being novelty and I also love the great interactions I get with other people when I wear them. People come up to me on the street or the hospital that I work in and talk to me about the prints which is awesome as Londoners tend not to do that often.
I used the Sew Over It Ultimate shift dress pattern. I've made this pattern so many times but I'd never made the frilled shoulders before as I'm not a massive frill fan but I don't know what got into me and I just went for it and I'm really pleased as these frills I love.
Despite making this pattern a lot of times, each time I do, I think that I need to lengthen it. I think I forgot because several of them are winter versions that I wear with tights. However, this is definitely a summer version and it feels like it should be a smidge longer. However its been doing me well in this heat wave we've been having.
And just because if there's ever a giant pink flamingo around you, you should definitely give it a cuddle, particularly if you're wearing a dress to match!
