Brrr ... It has been a cold winter! But Spring is coming and you can always celebrate it by dressing up in a colorful dress! So, here is another one of my designs - a little dress perfect for the warmer weather.
When I designed this dress, I wanted to let the fabric stand out. It is so lovely and full of vibrant energy. Hence, I choose to go with a simple, yet classic silhouette. The darts in the front and on the back accentuate the waist. The sleeves hit right above the elbows.
The fabric's pattern goes from darker to lighter - the top of the dress has the darker portion and right around the waist, the flower imprint gets less intense and slowly fades out towards the hem. I really like the visual interest this transition in the pattern gives to the dress and its shape.

But while I love for my designs to be uncluttered, I also love an interesting detail - something that sets the design apart from other dresses. I inserted imitation leather in brown, which goes nicely with the hints of brown in the fabric, into the front top and into the sleeves. The straight lines of the inserts contrast with the more fluid of the flower pattern and pull a viewer's eyes up to the neckline.
