Man, this was a sewing win. Big time.
I'm 39 years old with a BMI that puts me in the obese range. I dress nicely when I am out and about because I think we should all dress nicely when out and about. Still, after a certain age/weight, a female is pretty much invisible.
Not in this dress. The first day I wore it I got seven compliments. SEVEN COMPLIMENTS! From people I encountered along the way, from random passers-by in the street, seven people told me how much they loved this dress. And I love it too. The cut and the colors. And the compliments.
I think you got two more between the airport and my house as well! All greatly deserved!
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome. You look so happy! I used to have a dress my husband called my "compliment dress" because I got so many comments when I wore it. This must be yours!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fantastic dress! You did a great job. And you look great in it! I'm not surprised at all that you get tons of compliments. Do you tell them all that you made it? I would! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI've stopped telling people I made things. It shifts the conversation in a way I find weird. If they ask me where I got it I will say I made it, but other than that I just say "thank you."
ReplyDeleteSo far my favorite compliment has been on the train. I was reading (as usual) and as the train pulled into one of it's stop the gentleman behind me said, "Pardon me, I don't want to interrupt your reading, but I wanted to let you know that that is the most beautiful dress I've seen all summer, both the color and the style." It was such a succinct, sweet compliment.
LOVE!!! I love it. And the compliments are an amazing bonus!!!! And to get a comment from Sarai is so sweet!!!
