pretty dresses

I love the winding, wending way of the internet.
After leaving a rambly comment on Karen‘s Facebook about clothes for larger sized women, and Karen hoping that I’d blog about it, I’ve been musing on the topic. Not quite ready to post, but found my way to this lovely site today, Grosgrain. I love her style of sewing: “I’m all about sewing the quick and dirty way! Fast is key. I have such a low attention span, if a project takes more than a couple hours I’m far more likely to abandon it.” That’s me to a T!
In hunting around her site, I found that she does a lot of giveaways and was most taken by this one for the Shabby Apple Marseilles dress. This then took me to the Shabby Apple site, where I found another bunch of people with excellent philosophies about clothing:
After years of not being able to find stylish dresses that covered enough skin to make you really feel comfortable (without wearing a tank top, cardigan or long slip), owners Emily and CK decided to do something about it. They visited trade shows, marketplaces and designer studios only to discover the problem was not that department stores weren’t buying the right dresses, but that designers weren’t designing them. Shabby Apple is proud to offer you fantastic dresses that allow you to look fabulous, without having to compromise anything else. A return to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything...no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!).
It seems so simple. Why aren’t more people doing this? Well it’s encouraging anyway...More on fashion and clothing later.

what's it all about?
I'm a Christian. I get absorbed in lots of different pursuits, and my attention frequently gets snagged on whatever latest shiny thing pops into my view. I write, I sing, I design, I read, I edit, I make things, I play WoW, I play piano, I try and record music. And I struggle with depression. This blog is about all these things. And probably other things as well.

I’m looking forward to your post!
