The fabric is Kokeshi from Tessuti. I have had it a little while because I could not decide what pattern to use. I did like a DVF-inspired HotPatterns dress, but when I read the reviews at patternreview, I learnt that the pieces were largely rectangular. Being pear-shaped, I was a little dubious about how rectangles would go. Eventually, I decided to modify a dress pattern that I drafted myself. I changed the neckline, extended the shoulders and added a little cap sleeve.
My sister tells me that it is time to get rid of the hazy mirror photos from my blog, so this weekend, when we met up camping, I took my new clothes along and she took some photos. We were camping, so no irons and no make-up, but we did have a beautiful setting.
I wasn't brave enough to ask the Life-guards to pose with me.

I love that dress too. You must be in Far North Queensland to wear that in winter!
Oooo lovely dress! The second photo looks like it's straight out of BWOF.
Very pretty dress and the photographs are great - agree with Belinda that they're very BWOF :)
I think you should go ahead and try to set up a BurdaStyle meeting, you probably have some blog lurkers in your area that you don't know about. I was surprised how many responses I got (20+).
Gorgeous dress, and lovely setting. I bet that silk is lovely to wear.
Gorgeous! Gorgeous! Gorgeous! I too would like to steal Kelly's style! I am in love with this fabric!
Great dress and photos! I am very jealous of the weather and setting. It is cold and wet in Manchester UK at the mo.
Love the dress, and I want some of the fabric!
