WOO HOO! My Niece has asked me to be her Bridesmaid, how lovely is that :) I am over the moon, it's awesome. My Niece was my Chief Bridesmaid when I got married so I am touched that I get to be her Matron of Honour. It will be great I can't wait to go and watch her trying on all the dresses, and doing the jumping up and down clapping and giggling thing that I do when I get over excited. LOL (Eyes in the sky monkey with cymbals meets a pogo stick).
She has also asked if I will dance to the zephyr with a shamadan (candlebra balanced on your head) at her wedding. I thought balancing a sword was hard! I take my role as the eccentric Aunt seriously.
Anyway to celebrate I watched Grease which put me in the mood for the good girl side of Sandra Dee. I love this as a take on a college/picnic dress. It is grown up girlie girl dress. I like the white collar with the black tie ribbon at the high neck, but it is the V pleat at the front of the skirt that really adds the interest. The tailoring of the check print to accentuate the pleat is very well executed.
This dress just makes me smile! I can sense a carpet picnic happening this evening.
