This is the first Simplicity 2591 dress I made (I made another which will probably appear later in the month). I made it with Michael Miller Marcia fabric, and it is View D of the pattern.
It was rainy and cold today, so I'm wearing the dress with brown tights, an old brown cardigan from Debenhams (with pretty multicoloured buttons!), a bright pink flower necklace, my Nica handbag and my hot pink cowboy boots from America! You can't see too clearly in the picture, but the centres of the flowers are hot pink, which is why I chose to accessorise with pink.
I originally blogged about this dress here: threadcarefully.wordpress.com/2011/04/17/tabathas-april-c...
Photography has taught me to look towards the simple things of my life..to look at smallest thing..to look with a different angle.
Press "F" if you like it.
This image is for Kim Klassen's Be Still 52 Week 4. Kim introduced us to the concept of wabi sabi, which I'd never heard of before. Characteristics of the wabi-sabi aesthetic include asymmetry, asperity (roughness or irregularity), simplicity, economy, austerity, modesty, intimacy, and appreciation of the ingenuous integrity of natural objects and processes. I chose to photograph these orchid blooms for a touch of the oriental influence in a soft simplistic manner to express one of the characteristics of wabi sabi. I have a new-found and great appreciation for wabi sabi.
"Things to remember:
1) The worth of character;
2) The improvement of talent;
3) The influence of example;
4) The joy of origination;
5) The dignity of simplicity;
6) The success of perseverance."

Rarely do these creatures seem to 'perch' long enough, less on an optimal location. This creature was very cooperative. :)
Something pulls me back to this photograph on a regular basis. It shows complex creatures and complex interactions in a very simple way. Nature can be simple. Beauty can be simple. It doesn't have to be complex.

Simplicity:
1. The property, condition, or quality of being simple or uncombined.
2. Absence of luxury or showiness; plainness.
3. Absence of affectation or pretense.
4.
a. Lack of sophistication or subtlety; naiveté.
b. Lack of good sense or intelligence; foolishness.
5.

b. Austerity in embellishment.
Talk about a paradox.

I made the wrap version, with the short sleeves and the belt.
The fabric is a cotton voile from Westminster Fibers, in a colorway that is ideal for someone with three black and white dogs.
I thought the fabric would be too sheer to wear without a slip or lining but it turns it's absolutely fine without, which is great. This a perfect summer dress.
Tracey Clark's Picture Fall Day 8: Keeping it Simple
Tracey asked us to explore how light enhances our photography. I think I generally am very aware of light, so I tried to do something a little different for me and play with deep shadows.
You may recognize this as my pumpkin baby (see below).
I'm way behind on looking at my friends' streams. I'll be at my in-laws' tomorrow and Monday and hope to do some catching up then.
