Advena summer dresses



Usually, our middle daughter does NOT asks for a dress. She prefers shirts and tunics combined with bottoms. But, now that the temperatures are rising, she has developed a renewed love for dresses, because a dress can be worn as a stand alone garment. No bottoms needed. In the winter you need leggings or tights, so then she does not see the value of dresses, but now, that her legs can be bare, she requested dresses.



The Advena dress that I sewed a few weeks ago is a huge hit at the moment, so I decided to sew two more. She prefers short dresses (she would easily wear a tunic as dress), which is not in line with my sewing style. I like to sew a rather long dress, easily under the knee, such that it will fit for two years. But because of her love for tunics, I know these dresses will simply be worn as tunics next year, which is why I agreed to sewing, in my book, rather short dresses.



On Friday a huge order from Joyfits arrived. She was having a kilo sale and I bought 10 kilo fabric. On my Instagram you can see how that looks. The arrival of the new fabric prompted me to rearrange my fabric stash a bit, including my fabric scraps. Rearranging the fabric and the inflow of new inspiration was apparently just what I needed because I sewed five dresses this weekend.



Among the fabrics that I bought, I also bought a panel with four different (baby) prints on it. The panels are the perfect size for the Advena middle body piece. She picked this astronaut tiger and then pulled the planet fabric from the fabrics that I recently bought for our son. Planets and astronauts go very well together according to her. I picked the striped magic fabric myself because they reminded me of tiger stripes. Inside they are only tiger stripes, but outsides the colored splashes combine very well with the plant spots. I finished the dress with a golden lycra nekband which matches perfectly with the golden elements in the planet fabric.



The other Advena was sewn from fabric remnants only. Her sister recently got a dress with the flower fabric and she told me she also waned something with that fabric. I had a hard time coming up with another interesting matching print besides the stripes. Finally, I went with uni pink but sewed three butterflies from the flower fabric on it. I had first sewed some flowers on it as well, but she told me I embellished too much, so those I removed again. She was right of course, this is better. She has a good designer eye.

  2. Je m'appelle Vanessa Delarue.

    Je témoigne ici de la compétence d'un vieil homme vraiment remarquable.

    Je vous assure que j'ai contacté plusieurs marabouts qui n'étaient que des imposteurs, des menteurs, des escrocs – je ne sais plus comment les qualifier. Mais après de longues recherches, j'ai rencontré ce vieil homme qui m'a rendu le bonheur, celui que je recherchais depuis tant d'années. Il est vraiment merveilleux. Je souffrais d'une rupture avec mon mari ; il m'a quittée il y a un an et un mois. J'ai même perdu mon emploi. Mon père était gravement malade, mais en trois jours seulement, je vous assure, des miracles se sont produits dans ma vie grâce à ce vieil homme. Aujourd'hui, je vis heureuse avec mon mari, mon père est guéri, j'ai été rappelée au travail – et même si j'ai refusé –, je suis maintenant dans un autre service, bien meilleur que le précédent. Je ne sais vraiment pas comment remercier ce vieil homme. Il s'est occupé de moi gratuitement. J'ai d'abord ressenti une profonde satisfaction avant de le récompenser. Il est vraiment très bon.

    Alors, si vous avez le moindre problème, le moindre souci, n'ayez plus d'inquiétude. Contactez directement ce vieil homme. Voici son adresse :
