Because Aprons Can Be Dresses, Too
May 11, 2009
How adorable and fun is this? It is called an apron dress- but it is more subtle than that I think. I can see where the name comes from, but don’t be fooled- this one is not for the kitchen.
I love bows, they are so adorable. The bow on this dress is perfectly placed too- and the same color bow to dress fabric is a lovely touch as well. It adds more to the dress’s unusual design and shape.
This dress consists only of the gray fabric you see- the black top underneathe is a separate piece, both items came from YesStyle.com (I love them- they are fabulous!) and both fit and feel lovely on. I purchased the black top with the bow sleeves when I had the apron dress in mind- also I thought it would be a fun top to experiment with my other jumper style dresses.
Adding unique sleeves to an otherwise sleeveless dress reinvents the look all together, and I think this top in particular will make a dramatic effect.
The bow-tie sleeved top is from Dodostyle and comes in multiple colors- black, white, and pink are the ones that come immediately to mind, you can look and see more for yourself on YesStyle.com as there were some other variations on the style of the sleeves.
The apron dress comes in two colors, too- gray as seen here and also in black. I chose gray because I can mix it out more within my wardrobe- but I think a black apron dress with a white puffed-bow sleeve would also be *very* adorable!
Hmmmmm….. speak with you soon!
You look fabulous as always ! That really is a cute dress. Thanks for posting on my blog. I’m doing well. My pool is ready for the hot weather and I’ve got my cigars and cocktail stashes stocked!
Thank you, love! Am getting a collection slowly stashed away, though honestly the ones we have don’t last long.
An occasional treat, becoming more frequent and delightfully so!
Any new cocktails for me?
