Today has been a hot lazy sunday. No weather to do anything at all. Just a nice walk in a cool shadowy forrest and some amazing golden light shining through the fresh green leaves.
I'm wearing a pink cotton dress ideal for this kind of weather.
The dress is from the 50's but it has been made a few inches shorter, giving it a late 40's feel
The dress wasn't cut short but a broad seam left the dress intact. The old seam is still vissible.
It often surprizes me how well dresses from the 40's are finished, the raw ends of the seams are, most of the time stitchted over by hand.From the 50's the fabric on the inside of clothes is often left to fray. This dress has milled edges a method also used quite often in the 50's.
Now this sunny sunday is coming towards an end. I'm awaiting the rain and cooler weather. The dress is being washed to wait for the next hot summer day.
