Repairing My LBD Little Blue Dress

There is something special about a little blue dress in summer, reminiscent of blue skies and sparkling seas. I think a little blue dress is just as useful as its black counterpart. Wear it anywhere, anytime but make it summer for the pure joy of easy breezy summer dressing. I wear mine during the day around the house a summer staple.

My Fave Little Blue Dress Is Falling apart.

I wrote about that one ages ago , my son took the photos. I have worn it to death and even made a copy but it wasn’t as good as the original. Then tragedy struck, wearing it whilst unpicking seams, I accidentally snipped two little holes in it right at the front. I posted about that and how I repaired it on Instagram recently, I was heart broken, but the dress lived to survive another few weeks of summer.

The original Little Blue dress was from Arket. I bought it in 2019!
