It hadn't happened in a while, so I should have expected it, but it was still annoying to be woken up at 5am this morning by a dress that was bugging me to make it.
"C'mon, if you start now you could be done by 10am"
-No, sleep
"But I'm just a simple sundress, I won't take any time at all"
-Ha! "simple" means it will take all day
"But I'm different, I promise"
-Okay, since obviously I'm not going to be able to get any sleep until you're done
Several hours and a trip to Walmart later,
(oh yes, it had forgotten to mention before I got out of bed that it would insist on being custom dyed. Stupid manipulative dress.)
we have what may possibly be the cutest dress ever

Of course it wanted its picture taken by the flower bed.
The back
Detailing at the waist
Simple neckline
The green turned out so grass-like and the bodice was so structured and clean looking I decided to do a more organic kind of hem (that's the new way to say intentionally frayed)
And of course, it twirls.
Some of you may ask where the pocket is.
This dress is so cute it doesn't need pockets, it has other people hold it's stuff for it.

oh how fun to wear this dress!! I love the colors - how did you do the dye? I will definitely have people around to hold its stuff. Aren't you glad it's still summer there?
The dye process was kinda fun. I garment dyed the whole thing after constructed, except I didn't have the bottom layer on yet. Then I laid it out on the ground still wet and sprinkled some of the yellow and blue powdered dyes to give it the variations. Very fun technique that I will probably do again with varying colors.
I think that this would probably go well with a cardigan if it ever is cool enough for that, but, yeah, I don't mind the 100+ temp today in it.
