A beach dress

frualeydisSince I've spent quite a lot of time at the beach lately I got the idea that it would be nice to have something pretty to wear when you're having a break from swimming and play with a frisbee for example. or when you yourself has finished swimming but your kid haven't and you walk around at the water edge. Or you can put it this way: An invented need is also a need :)
So hubby and I went to a fabric store and I bought the red polka dot fabric. The blue fabric, the ric-rac and the buttons I already had. The buttons are from the Salvation Army and probably from the 70s.
It is a little big, but my main concern with this dress was not to show of my figure, but to make something comfortable. And pretty.
Other than that I'm slightly hung over and really ought to write on article which should be finished on the 15th, but instead I'm going to see a friend who has a summer house in the archipelago of Gothenburg. I also sleep too little, but for excellent reasons.
