Considering there was no official grain line on the hand-drawn pattern and it was after midnight when I started laying it out I'm pretty happy with the placement of the trees.
The kimono side is actually the back view -- love that. I'm digging the modest cut. And can I just mention it has cap sleeves people! (You're going to have to trust me until I get some on-an-actual-3d-person pics.) Clean-cut, a-line, and reversible. Me so happy. A great pattern from Nanoo Designs!
Fabric: Modern Meadow, Majestic Oak in Grass, Joel Dewberry. I went granola with the reverse and used a grainy oatmeal cotton. Skinny bark brown ties all the way around.
I think maybe I like it because it kinda reminds me of a certain somebody's mommy ink.
Ahem.
(I still have to get the trunk fixed. Long story, but it's not Olive-like enough for me. The trunk is too symmetrical. I need twisty; I need some lean. You see it too -- too oaky, right? If only I could draw. Can you draw?)
This tree dress is for Olive, but if you dig ducks we can hook you up RIGHT NOW. I meant to buy enough for two tree dresses, but I may have goofed. So there may be another, or not, not to mention that I'm easily side-tracked...wait, OOH! (Insert some other random fabric and or pattern or chocolate something here.)
