I looked around to find a very simple dress and thought this Kwik Sew was the best choice. I made the long sleeved view with the boat neck but shortened it. The short version is WAY short, something an "over 35" probably shouldn't do unless you have phenominal legs. I added about 2 inches to the shorter version.

I tried to get photos of myself in it but accidentally broke my camera in the process...Not a good day!
And the gorgeous shoes I bought as a 40th birthday present.

I am working on reviews for the Wardrobe Contest but the broken camera really irks me :-(

I think you made a perfect choice of pattern - this simple shape shows off that stunning fabric so well. Those shoes are amazing - what a great outfit!
Yowza! A perfect marraige of pattern and fabric (and shoes)!!!
I always wonder what I would do with these gorgeous print fabrics at EOS. You have it all figured out. And those shoes are indeed perfect -- with this dress, alone, with just about anything.
Happy 40th!
You created such a sensational looking dress! Very nice work!
