The postpartum body has left me a bit frustrated with what to wear, plus the fact the food needs to be easy accessible for baby. Thus, I think making a wrap dress was definitely needed. I actually made a pattern as I made this dress, so I am sure you will be seeing more wrap dresses to come. I already have two different fabrics waiting to be turned into a wrap dress of sorts. This is my first try, though Ben wasn't so keen on the fabric, but he did like the cut.
Another reason I needed a dress, was that Ben and I had a date on Friday (after we picked something up in L.A., visited with friends, and went to the doctor because I have mastitis yet again). Therefore, I wanted to look and feel pretty for him. He is just the absolute handsomest fellow around!
The dress was good. The date was good, but Ben's kisses are even better.
Happy Monday everyone! This week's forecast in southern California is rain. I love rain.
p.s. my baby seester is so cute... you should read her blog.
so swee. i love the dress, and your boots too!

It's a lovely dress!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job! I love your creativeness on having to access the 'food'. It looks fab on you!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog, but never comment because I'm so shy... Love the dress- nursing in dresses is so tricky!
ReplyDeleteOh, and a tip for mastitis is cabbage leaves. I know it sounds crazy but it cleared me right up both times I had it!
love the outfit:) especially your red tights and boots!
ReplyDeleteI love love love wrap dresses. any chance youd think about uploading and selling patterns on etsy?
ReplyDeletealso.. the way you say seester really reminds me of the time I spent in the philippines. man I miss the food there so much!
You look fab love. Love the boots too.
ReplyDeleteawwww i love the dress. especially with those tights!! perfect. and the boots...love ♥
ReplyDeleteyes please pass along the great pattern- the dress is darling... i would love to live in some of those this summer!
ReplyDeleteLove the combo, looks great! cute couple!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it! I too get frustrated with what to wear. When you are nursing you feel undressed for half the day, so the simpler the items the better! the wrap dress is simple AND stylish! great job!
ReplyDeleteOMG what a great dress and you know how to wear it. Red tights are always right!
ReplyDeleteSalut,
Ingrid Jansen
You look lovely! :)
ReplyDeletesuch a cute dress. i had mastitis w/ my first and that wasn't fun… at all. so i hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteyou should link up this post at my site for our Project 52: Date Night. my husband and i have a project to do a date night once a week. then every tuesday we post about it and have others link up their dates they did the previous week to share date ideas with each other and encourage each other to date their spouse.
