Dresses galore!
I think patching pieces and parts from these dresses I love will be fun - I know a seamstress lady that might be up for the task. I could even make it easier by getting a simple shift (if you can find such a thing!) & having her add this & that to make it just so...

Ahh, so simple... wish it were more a-line

Getting really close! If only it were short...

Love the cap sleeves & the layers...

Is this the same dress?

Love this pattern detail! Nice length, good a-line... Too bad it's strapless...

Maybe paired w/ a shrug? Looks really casual, though, even for me - linen-y?

Love, love, love this dress! {via Once Wed} I thought I wanted a Jackie-Audrey boatneck/bateau, but after seeing this dress, all bets are off. Love the collar, love the cap sleeves, love the layers...
Love the bold jewelry, too - contrasts well w/ the delicate, vintage-y, lacy, eyelet

And colored shoes...

Classic... (maybe a little too full & sheer?)

Almost perfect! Great shape, nice length, simple detailing at the waist... Sheer & flowy, though?

Love, love, love these details! I like keeping the front fairly simple and adding some vintage-inspired interest to the back...

The front of that beautiful back?

Love a simple fabric with tailored detailing...

A little too glittery & lacy for me,
but I like how cute a strapless is when paired with a shrug...

Does this come in white-ish?

Banding detail...

Like the neckline & the deco pattern, needs more a-line

Fun but would never

Colorful petticoat? Could be fun...
So there's to thinking about it in pieces & parts. Next step: photoshop
magic.
