This one goes out to everyone who's said to me, "You have names for all of your dresses?"
Introducing... Bluey!
They can't all be poetry.
I know I was just saying yesterday that solid green dresses are where it's at, but then there's Bluey. (Also in my closet: Bluey's sister Little Bluey, who had better come out of hiding if she wants a chance to be as famous as Bluey. Little Bluey, where are you?!)
Things I love about Bluey: the simple cut, for one.
This little ruching detail at the shoulder, which immediately spices up the entire bodice, for two.
The theoretical versatility of the generously proportioned sewn-on sash, for three.
The color, for four.
I am letting Bluey go only because I have worn it to the full gamut of events to which a dress can be worn. (In case you are interested, that means both a wedding and a work going-away party.)
Bluey needs more excitement! Maybe with you? Let me know if you can give Bluey a loving home.

I definitely would love a chance at Bluey! I'm curious what the approximate measurements are, though - if I happened to be lucky, I wouldn't want to have to just pass it on.
ReplyDelete(I've found your blog through the Hairpin and love it!)
Thanks for your kind words! Your chances of going home with Bluey are *excellent.* Measurements-wise, it is probably about 36-30-40, with plenty of wiggle room (so to speak) in the hip/waist area.
DeleteHa, I forgot that blogspot doesn't message me about replies...
DeleteThanks for the measurements - I thought from your pictures that it would be about right, but it's good to have the confirmation!
Ooh, I'll throw my name in for Bluey! If I win, I hope the color is as gorgeous on me as it is on you.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You are now in the mix, with a slight edge because you've entered before...
DeleteWhee! I was going to email you, but couldn't locate your email anywhere, so please get in touch with me at figwiggin[at]gmail[dot]com and I will give you my mailing address and whatever else is necessary!
