Another Miss Deb...


MissDeb2, originally uploaded by ThePaperDoll.

Its been a while - I do have an excuse but I'm not going to bore you with it. I'm back now and thats enough right?

I have a few things to show you in the coming days and that surprise I was meant to be working on didn't quite get around to being worked on due to my excuse so I'm hoping to have it up next week sometime - I hope its worth the suspense!

Any way, this is another vintage Miss Deb dress I found (do I hear a collection coming on? I still haven't been able to find any more info on the company - I guess a good old fashioned jaunt to the library is in order). I did originally buy it with the intent of making it shorter but I'm now undecided. I don't have any long dresses and so this is a nice change but I think I'll get more wear out of it being shorter. So theres my conundrum. It is a beautiful fit though and I love the detailing on the bodice of the dress - and as far as long dresses go its the perfect length for me.

I am getting around to those blog awards too - thank you so much for giving them all to me and I'm so sorry for keeping them all to myself!!

I also again want to thank you all so much for the support I've had with this blog and the friends I've made. Its been a fantastic journey so far and getting feedback on the things I make and wear are great motivators to continue designing and making my own clothes. I think I've also greatly improved my writing skills (although some of you may disagree perhaps) and I think I've found my own style and way of doing things in relation to writing and how I choose to dress myself - its been a huge learning curve. All the comments and emails I get are all so sweet and always always brighten your day!!

So thank you all again so much, you are all wonderful and I find each and everyone of your blogs inspiring,

Oooh, that is a tough call. I know what you mean about getting more mileage out of short dresses, but it looks FANTASTIC long. Let us know what you decide to do!

I hope you would short it, looking forward to know ;)

Sorry I made a mistake I wanted to say "I hope you wouldn't short it"

Sometimes that happens to me, that's what happens for being a no english spoken...

sorry, I bet it wasn't making sense to you.

Have a great weekend dear
xoxo

I vote for keeping it long and changing up your style a bit by wearing a maxi more often!

Miss Karen said...

I think the dress looks amazing as it is! I'd say keep it long for a bit and if you're not feeling it after a while, give it the big chop!

The pattern on the dress is gorgeous! I especially like the tier at the bottom.

Awesome dress: I totally adore long dresses.

Wow, you look so beautiful! And it's always nice have a few lengthier dresses outside the miniskrt arena!!

Keep it long! I love a maxi dress. You look nice and tall in it and you can pull it off :)
It looks like a lovely weekend/beachy/brunch dress.

Missa said...

WOW, the dress is beautiful and fits you like a dream! Part of what I love about it is the bottom tier, so I say leave it long too :)

oh how I wish I could wear maxi dresses.. this one looks amazing on you, don't shorten it!!

Louise said...

A long dress is a great find in this season, when everyone is all over the maxi-dress! Yea, the community side to blogging is quite neat aye!

Amelia said...

Lovely dress. Personally, I would be too intimidated to wear a dress that long, but it looks great on you as it is.
