Back in the Saddle

Okay. Whew. I'm back from my overwhelming conference (click here for a picture of the dress I spoke in) and ready to think about dresses again.

(Okay, to be fair, I never really STOP thinking about dresses -- that's why it's called an 'obsession' -- but now I can think coherently, or as coherently as I ever do, about them.)

Like this one, from eBay seller ElegantlyDelightful. Oh, how I wish it were in a larger size ... this one is a B32. Surplice top, midriff band, full or slim skirt ... what's not to love? And you could easily put nice pockets in those front skirt seams.

This would be gorgeous in a pale butter-yellow with gray grosgrain ribbon trim; very pretty in pale blue with white, and downright sophisticated in gray and white. (Of course it would be very nice in black, but no one ever really needs a push to imagine a dress in plain black, so I don't usually bring it up.)

Sorry about the spotty posting lately -- I have some posts in the queue, so it should be a steady flow of dress-related content this week. (There might also be a new "Secret Lives" in the next day or two ...)
