august 31, 07

Made this dress this morning. Not sure yet whether I hate the high bib-front or not; I like the apron-like quality of it, but it comes awfully close to my neck.

It's made from the last bits of the same fabric from yesterday.

Jodi, I've looked through your accomplishments on this project so far (9 Sep 07) and I have to say that this is the dress/outfit I like the best, so far. Something that I find very interesting about what I consider the most attractive about your work is the way in which it leads me to enjoy colors or shapes that I don't like utterly despise. I hate almost all colors that could fit the description orange (and coral, as an orangey pink, falls into that category for me), and yet, here you are presenting a dress in this color that I think is just fabulous. This is also true of the green print we bought--I'm not a fan of the lime range of greens--and some of the abstract patterns you use. I'm noting the tendency to use some patterns that would fit very well in the late 50's to mid-60's design aesthetic, which we all know is about my least favorite 20th c. look. Yet you use these elements that I dislike in ways that I truly enjoy. It's interesting to me that you are able to do that.
