Summer Hazel, Fall Hazel

Its obviously a bright summery color, but I think with a sweater and some boots I can take it into the Fall without any nasty “she’s wearing white after labor day” looks from old fashioned Grandma types. I got out good old Hazel pattern to showcase the plaid on the bodice “V” seam. I think it ended up being really cute! Pardon the color in these photos, I am on the verge of a camera update, it needs to happen.
Ah see? You can feel the seasons change with the sweater. Ready to go pumpkin pickin Hazel!
Nice dress, the boots&vest combination looks great and the colours really suit you!
Thanks! Accessories are so underrated
lovely! bright and flowy for summer and goes great with winter boots too! Well done!
Love the yellow on you!
Thanks lady! After this I gotta retire the hazel pattern for a while, time to Troy something new
What a lovely take on Hazel! And I totally agree, depending on how you accessorize it, it can make the transition to fall/winter wardrobe without a hitch
Thank you! I am thinking it’d be cute with cowgirl boots too
I like the transition from summer wear to fall wear. I think this will be a great dress when we’re well into fall and getting sick of all those gray and neutral colors. A welcome pop of color!
Thanks! I agree, I love brights in the cold months, it makes things less dreary
You did a great job matching the fabric pattern. Cool.
Very pretty! It looks great in that fabric!
I realley must get myself sorted and get sewing laMBRETTAGAL
