This is yet another dress that I really love but don't wear that often. I've gathered it round the back, but if I wanted to I could still undo the stitching and let it be in full length. I think one day I'll do that, but now I'm still happy with the way it looks at the moment. I didn't remember that it was quite this short, but I don't find it to be too short. (At least from my point of view..) I'm sure I've said this before but the dress was sewn by my aunt in the 70's after which it's been worn by my mum and now me. Clothes with stories behind them are somehow so much nicer to wear. As if they have more memories about them. If you never watched the Moomins in your childhood (or adulthood), you won't know what I'm on about, but anyway. This dress reminds me of the episode where Mymble finds a supposedly diamond ring, tries to be fancier than she is and makes a new dress out of Moominmamma's floral curtains. That's what I think about when I'm wearing this. I do love the dress and the floral print, but at the same time it feels a bit old-lady-like. In a good way, you know?

The color of this dress looks wonderful on you. And I agree as well - clothes with stories behind them make them nicer to wear.
