...go check out my Dutch blog :)
I made the dress myself, and wearing a petticoat underneath (also self made  ) I will take the dress with me to Thailand, but NOT the (self made)shrug lol. With 52 C (125F.) even I am not cold haha LOVE the dress, and it looks cute with my flat (pink) shoes as well.
Our weather is absolutely GORGEOUS as you can see in the picture, lot's of sun so am going outside (got changed into a t and shorts ofcourse) and enjoy me some sunshine and a good book. Have a great day Farmgal pals

I just love the dress! You looks so beautiful in it. I just love it! It is just what I was looking for. Do you mind sharing the pattern number?

 Shucks thanks gals!! Julie the pattern is out of a DUTCH magazine, so I am so sorry. I can't share it because they don't do online patterns . MAYBE I can try to make a copy of mine and you might change it somewhat more to your size?? Let me think about it and I will let you know one way or the other oke??

Oh Marian, it's beautiful! I love the belt with it and the shrug too! Did you make the shrug yourself as well?

So pretty and so retro! You look like you just stepped out of a 50's sitcom. Love it! By the way, you are gorgeous.

Marian...absolutely lovely! You do look like a model all decked out for the runway. You did an amazing job on the dress and shrug! I don't like to Machine Sew (bad childhood memories of my mother screaming and slapping me around when I made mistakes) but I do small task hand-sewing. I love to see people who love to sew and are accomplished seamstresses. I have a friend who makes amazing wedding gowns and bridesmaids dresses etc.
Such Talent!
Enjoy Thailand! Also loved your blog!
Blessings,
