I have a little bit of time to kill this morning, so I decided to look around the interwebs for some sewing inspiration for fall (which is basically a prolonged summer here in FL). Inspiration struck at Kate Spade, perveyor of chic, classic clothes with a feminine, kind of girly, twist.
I love all things yellow, and I love a casual dress with short sleeves since my shoulders are always taking a beating from the sun. This dress makes me think I could even get on board with the little collar, but mine probably wouldn't be contrasting. I think this would be nice in some type of cotton/linen blend.
Oooh, this dress is so simple but so pretty. It would even be cute shortened to a top. It says it's a sweater dress, but I think it would be great in a light ponte. I can't tell if the stripes are knit-in, but I think it would with some applied trim.
One more dress, and can you see a theme with the little sleeves? I'm getting on board with some color blocking now that it's been mainstream for years. :-) I like this subtle blocking and I LOVE the box pleat skirt. This isn't very casual, though, and casual is what I need.
Finally, a coat/jacket. I'd like a collarless version like this, but I really don't need one. It's fun to look, though. The fabric looks beautifully textured close up. It says it's 85% cotton/15% faux patent leather. Ok, I'm intrigued.

The second dress is absolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteJenny you asked what kind of fabric I used for my reto top. It's a stable cotton knit (no lycra) which I've bought in at least seven colours ,I like it so much.I bought it at Fabricville which, for Canadians, is our equivalent of Joanne's.
