A couple more GreenStyle Laurels
I really like my blue polka dotted Laurel. So I made a couple more.
The first one I used the seashells and seahorses fabric that I dyed purple a while back. It's a thicker cotton knit, where the blue and white polka dots was a soft, drapey rayon lycra blend. So I was curious how that cowl neck would do.
I just didn't like how it draped in this fabric, so I took it out and put in just a neck band instead.
I like it way better this way. I've worn it a couple times.
But, I've been thinking I need a shorter version of this dress. So my next version uses the shorter length of the pattern. Well, I should have known better. I'm pretty tall and the shorter version was several inches shorter. So yeah, I now have a very lovely tunic. I don't have any action shots though. Just on my dress form.
I love this fabric and I'm sad that I don't have a wearable dress out of it. But it does look cute with leggings, which is how I wore it to the Pink Martini concert. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any photos.
I'm sure there will be more versions of this dress coming in the future too.

It's hard to really see in the above photo, here's a selfie where you can really see the cowl.
