Muumuus are OK if They are Pink & Covered in Roses

I finished my pink muumuu this weekend. Cute, huh? I’m seriously thought it would be a bust but it has really grown on me. It’s super comfortable and perfect for hot weather.

Instead of creating a casing for the elastic I just sewed it directly onto the dress (on the inside of course!). Not quite as fancy but much faster and since there’s a belt covering up, it looks fine. Plus, less bulk! Less bulk in the waist area is always good.

I adore these huge deep rose-colored novelty buttons. You can’t see the ones at my shoulders in these photos, I guess because they are so big they flop over. That’s OK though, it’s better for under cardigans anyway.

      Very flattering. I thought the same thing as casey: That’s not a muumuu!
