DIY Fuchsia + Gray Bow Neck Dress
Quickie post today: I'm still obsessed with color blocking though this one is much more mild - incorporating fuchsia with a medium gray.
I used this tutorial to make the dress (2 rectangles of 25 x 33") and then just added a gray border and sash. What do you think? I love the giant bow :)
You look simply beautiful! The bow really makes the dress; it complements your belly perfectly.
ReplyDeleteP.S - I really like your bag - why don't you whip out the Balenciaga more often?
Oh, yes, love the bow! I also like the border at the bottom of the skirt. The darker grey of the bag is a great touch as well.
ReplyDeletethis is one of my favorite color combos!! the bow is so cute, too :) i agree with anna, you should give that anthra twiggy a little more love, its such a beautiful bag!!
ReplyDeleteNice look with the bow and the bag is beautiful :) When are you due?
ReplyDeleteso simple (when I looked up that tutorial you linked to), and yet so pretty! Love the bright pink and grey!
