I designed this dress for my 30th birthday. It's a cotton pique wrap dress in pink and white; perfect for spring and summer. I wanted something sophisticated yet fun and flirty for the big occasion. It's named "Fair" because that is my family nickname. The dress also comes in navy with a white ruffle trim and blue and white seersucker with a white ruffle trim.
This dress was inspired by all the things that I love. The pink version is perfect for a birthday girl who is turning 30. When I saw the pink fabric I thought of some of my favorites things such as star gazer lilies, pedicures with any color of pink polish, my pink running shoes, the assortment of pink I have collected in my wardrobe, and pink elephants, the symbol of the restaurant my grandfather owned in Cleveland Ohio, The Pink Elephant. It would also be the perfect dress for a shower-bridal or baby, horse race, luncheon, walk through the park or girls day out! Its versatile style makes it a classic.
The Navy version with a white ruffle was inspired by my love of the water! I grew up going to the beach to stay on our family boat and to visit Smith Mountain lake to stay with my grandparents so I have always had a love for anything with a nautical theme. I think the Navy version would look great with red accents. These dresses would be perfect at a family BBQ at the lake or for a peaceful stroll down the beach. I got married on an island in South Carolina and would even have had these dresses as bridesmaid dresses. Anytime I am at the beach or on the river my heart is happy :)
These pictures are of the sample dress I had made.
Thanks for looking!
