Constructing: Traverse City Dress

Sunday, July 1, 2012


The Traverse City dress is a rich blend of adventure and relaxation--bold graphics, soft design...the sort of dress you can wear to really dig your toes into summer (you know, occasionally, I do like to dress for the weather). HA. Constructed from silky jersey knit, it's both refined and comfortable, and the movement...ah, the movement. I love building clothes that move. A well-cut maxi dress that hangs just so, but flows freely in the breeze seems the most luxurious quality of a summer dress, but hey, what do I know?


Have a most happy Independence Day, mah dears!

  27. I was wondering where you get your fabric. I have searched hi and low for a rugby stripe like this. Do you mind if I ask where you bought this fabric?

    I also can't wait till your dresses are on sale too!!! :)
