Description
i loved the doryon top, but wasn’t quite ready for the romper, so i turned it into a shirt that can be worn over pants, but also made a little matching a-line skirt so i could wear it as a dress should i feel so inclined. it took me a long time to make but i love the outcome. the silk flows beautifully in the wind or when i walk. the edges of the semi-circles of the bottom part and the sleeves are not sewn, i applied fray block to them (fray block is less stiff than fray check) – hopefully it will hold up. the shoulders are a little wide for my narrow ones, but i think it looks pretty.
Material Notes
silk from fabric frontline, zurich

I love funky colors, so this is a win. As a random side note, how did you get your hair to be that color? Love it.

Very interesting idea. The color (or should I say – colors?) really suits you. I prefer the top – jeans combination; the dress ensemble is a bit girly, though sweet and lovely. Circle flounce is an unusual detail (you always seem to surprise me with your unusual and original details!), and I love the circles sleeve caps.
Love your pics, the nature in the background is stunning.
