One thing I love about wearing (and designing) dresses is their versatility.  I also love being able to transform a look I have just by adding a new accessory. 

Let's take a look at the Beach Dress, shall we?

First of all, this dress looks great on many different body types.  The asymmetrical neckline and the flattering waistline really is designed to cover any imperfections you may feel in your stomach area.  

Plus there are pockets!  I mean, who doesn't love a good pocket?  If you can get away without wearing a purse for the evening, it's the perfect size for your iphone and some lipstick.

I love seeing my customers in clothing I designed.  But, I especially love to see the combinations they come up with to make it their own look.  I appreciate that two people can be wearing the same dress and it can be styled to look differently on each person.  

I've seen some great belts with this dress.  Here are some examples of how you can change out this dress to keep it current and fresh.

A pop of color can make even the dreariest days seem delightful.  And remember your shoes don't need to match your belt or purse.

How have you (or would you) take this dress to make it your own?

No?  Well you should! 

Here's an excerpt from their website: "Sustainable, organic clothing doesn’t have to have hemp leaf allover print, or look like burlap. There are good-looking clothing options for the fashion-conscious conscientious consumer, even though we acknowledge that we are far behind the curve. The more we know, the more we see, the more we share, the bigger this eco fashion industry can grow – the better we can feel about the clothes on our backs."

I totally agree!  You can check out the write-up on K.Grace and then sign up to recieve their RSS feed to discover even more eco-friendly clothing brands. 

Oh, and did I mention that I'm giving all Seed and Sew customers a special 20% off coupon code?

Thanks Kate!
