Spring into summer -dresses!

I bought these three dresses at, where else, Rupert Cornelius in Madison, WI


The first is kind of a seersucker Indian woven that's an incredible fabric.  To be able to wear this confidently, I have to have a top or shrug, they sometimes call it.  

I purchased this chambray piece from Craftsy that seemed ever so plain when it arrived. It became just the ticket for a SW West End jacket as a topper for this dress.

Dress number two was this cool Cut Loose brand linen cotton knit which I used some of my knit and Marcy's latest topper pattern to complement.

The collar is ruched by the tie.  Used a piece of stretchy cord in two colors from Gayfeathers that went well, I thought.

The third was black, but I loved the style, with little gathers all the way down the front pieces and copied it in some Marcy linen knit



Made Marcy's new shirt in a bold linen stripe to cover it.  Neat design on both!
