I also made the matching belt.

haha no zips. I hate zips. They poke me.
The length is tea length.
The button is from Mema's sewing cabinet. My Mema would have loved this dress. She liked pastels.
And of course, I am now a full 1940s reject with platinum and purple hair!
Complete with full bang wave and spit curl.
I have had to completely adjust my makeups. I am wearing pale lavender eye shade and coral lippy. It goes better with the pale hair.
And I hade to got a tad lighter on the brow pencil.
Cute, no?

The fit is great and your fabric choices are perfect!
I love this palette on you! I'm always so focused on your fierce fashion creations that I love these close ups included of your gorgeous mug. I totally love the blonde with your skintone. Pretty pretty pretty.

Wow! I love this look on you - the makeup and a styling is adorable. Great peach-pink lipstick. BTW, this dress makes me wish I was in Hawaii - Love it!!
I love your dress! It's so beautiful. Also your hair OMG! How long did it take for you to lift the red out? Did you do it yourself? (Sorry for the questions - I'm currently brunette and am thinking about lifting the color out).
You look beautiful! I adore your new blond/purple look! The lipstick is spot on! Great work n the dress!
I absolutely love the whole look from the top of your head to the tips of your toes!

I LOVE the new hair color! Very flattering!
You look so gorgeous. I love the dress.
Looking good as always! ;)
Loving the hair Sue! Plus your make up looks amazing!
I really like the dress - the fabric has a kind of tropical feel about it, but in a classic way, if that makes sense?
Adorable! I really love the style of this dress, and the fabric is really cool. I bet it is a nice change from black in the heat.
Your hair is awesome! I love the fabric of the dress, you are so talented!
Amor,
I love this dress perfect for Tiki parties. love, love the peach and the fact that it has no zipper. You are so talented. loving your new hair. You look so much like Mae West with your blond hair.
Adorable! I also hate zippers, but mostly inserting them rather than wearing them. That new hair is stunning -- I want to steal it!
You look absolutely stunning! I love everything about this look! The peach looks wonderful next to your pale skin, I love the design of the dress, your hair looks amazing, and your face is simply pure and lovely.
OMG I feel so much love! haha these comments are awesome! Thanks everyone!!!
That is absolutely wonderful! Except now I can't say I hate pastels because I love this! I agree with La Dama about you having the whole sexy Mae West thing going on with your new faboulous 'do. :)
Amazing! You always come up with winners. Hair, makeup, dress, all gorgeous. I have to agree with previous comments, you really are rockin' that Mae West vibe!
I LOOOOVE the floral fabric and I SUUUPER DOOOPER LOOOVE your new hair! The softer makeup palette is perfect too - you are so beautiful! I honestly thought you looked so good as a redhead that there's no way blonde could be as good but I think I love it even more!
You are such a clever strumpet - I cannot IMAGINE making a frock like that!

Wow. Beautiful outfit and you look lovely. I can't sew but my mom did while I was growing up- so my admiration for your skills (and all the amazing dresses on your sidebar) are doublefold. You look great and like no one else. Lovely. xo -Bella Q

Love the new hair (although I was partial to the red as well!)
love the dress too - is that a separate belt? I like the width of it, very flattering!

This dress turned out fantastic. It looks lovely, just perfect for a wedding. You look fab as a platinum blond, and I like the purple steaks. Glad you were able to work out the changes that needed to be made to the sleeves. Your questions sent me to my drafting and fitting books, but I couldn't find any good solution in them.
Oh my gosh!!! I love that dresws, the colors are to die for (and pastels are totally a matter of survival right now!) Plus LOVE the hair!!!!
