The Pen Pal Dress is my favorite piece in the collection! It's made of velveteen and sateen striped Dior fabric (the black stripes feel velvety!). The stripes form a chevron pattern. It is incredibly flattering on an hour glass figure. The cute collar is a fun addition. ♥
The Spring Collection dresses will start going online at 6PM CST tonight. They should all be listed within the hour. Sizes/styles are limited, so take a peek during that time if you have your eye on something pretty! XO, elsie
I do believe this one is my favorite!!! I loooove it...just lovely! I would buy but I'm a chubby gal...I can't wait till you post some of those plus size vintage numbers you blogged about..woo hooo! That doesn't stop me from admiring...I love it! Hearts, Janna Lynn

aww so cute. I've been crossing my fingers that our tax refund would come in today so I can do a little shopping. :) What are the price points for the dresses?

Really clever use of the stripes. Great technical skill in drafting the pattern for this AND sewing it up!!

so much work to put together a chevron like this. It's very impressive - and totally classic. Amazing job.

So fabulous, would love a dress like this but would have to loose loads of weight :P I like chocolate too much!! Have got some similar fabric though, the black stripes feel velvety as well, but much wider stripes, might have enough for a skirt :)
Your dresses are amazing, keep it up!!

I love the collar. And the print is fabulous as well.

Thanks for all the kind words!
Lindsay... I don't remember where the name for this dress came from. Named it forever ago. All of the names have a lighthearted Springtime mood. XXO! elsie
