I have many LBD’S in my wardrobe. Yes a little, or even a large black dress will take you anywhere and everywhere. However, have you ever considered a little blue dress one that you can wear everyday? I love blue, ice blue, denim blue, air-force blue just send me all the blues! Plus, I also know (not bragging) that it is a colour that suits me. I have an old Zara shirt dress, with ice blue and white stripes & whenever I wear it people stop me in the streets to tell me how nice I look. I’m always amazed at this reaction…

The Little Blue Dress

I feel wonderful in ice blue I stand straighter, smile more and that is when you know a colour is right for you. Whilst I have completely ‘gone off’ prints and loud colours, ice blue is a colour I return to again and again. Do you have a colour like that? I wore mine out to our local town for a spot of shopping, luckily the 18 year old was willing to take some snaps. it was a very hot day and the dress was perfect.

I love my little blue dress:

The Wilder Gown:

Last year I discovered a superb sewing pattern. I made a dress and a blouse from it (both Blue)  The wilder Gown by the Friday Pattern Company was a joy to sew and wear. I plan on making a linen dress version next.

The Arket Version

Imagine my suprise when I saw the exact same dress on the Arket website! It was in the sale at half price so I ordered it (well of course I did!) Once received I examined the seams and the cut of the dress and was surprised to see it had been sewn exactly the same.

A Perfect sunshine wear

A case of the chicken and the egg? All I know is that it is a fabulous dress, during the last UK heatwave I found it to be the perfect accompaniment to the summer sunshine…

This is my dress the same style is available in a black & white print, but sold out in blue sorry!
