At first sight of this dress from Retro-Stage, I immediately thought of a 1950s Garden Party. It sets my heart aflutter to even think of such a wonderful thing! I suppose I have always wanted a beautiful garden where I could sit, take tea, listen to the sounds of nature, and write in my journal. Always. When I was a little girl, I determined to make my own garden by planting flowers ringed with rocks to mark them off as sacred all around the yard.
Withing a month or so, just as my flowers were starting to bloom, I would inevitably hear the sounds of metal scraping rocks as my dear ol' dad mowed over my "gardens" every. single. time. Those sounds were then followed by some rather rough language as dad tried to figure out why there were seemingly random rock piles all around the yard.
Well, I never got my beautiful gardens as a child, and found myself without the time for much gardening throughout much of my adult life, but now that my children are moving on to have their own lives and I find myself more and more with plenty of time on my hands, I decided it was high time to make this little dream come true.
One day, I think I will get my vintage garden party, and I have the perfect dress for it already. I'm making very good progress so far and I know it isn't perfect, but who says things have to be perfect before they can be enjoyed. No, I'm making use of my garden spot right now, just as it is and loving every moment.
