Deer & Doe Myosotis Dress
Every now and then, a pattern crops up that gives me major FOMO and Deer and Doe's Myosotis Dress is one such pattern. I really love Deer and Doe patterns. They are I think drafted for a pear shape so I was pretty confident that this dress would suit my shape. I don't always make things that suit my shape, but I do find that I feel better in things that do so I don't discount this when planning my projects.
I bought this pattern probably a year ago now and the rayon fabric from Spotlight at about the same time. It completely missed last summer. No problem, I consoled myself, I will make it for winter and wear with a merino and boots. Well that didn't happen either, so come spring I felt it was now or never and I really didn't want this fabric to become a long term stash resident.
This was a pretty quick pattern to make up. The amount of gathering required was a bit daunting because gathering is one of those things I don't particularly like doing for no particular reason but once I got over that hurdle, I whipped through this dress during a few weeknights.
I am really drawn to this boho kind of aesthetic. It works well for casual with sneakers and can be dressed up as well. I am just not sure whether it is really me! I have visions of the dresses I wore as a child and 50 year old me just can't get my head around wearing child like styles now. I do really like it so once I get over this mental hurdle, I think it will be worn and it does fit in well with my casual office style.
