Review: Riley Pleated Cuff Shirt

African Print Dress: Sleveless and Blue Sticks

I like to design my own African outfits whenever I purchase material to sew.  Below is a dress made about two years ago that I have only worn for the first time this past weekend (shame 😦 ).  Ironically, the pretty color (blue) matches the Quinn Cuffs from J.Crew (purchased without the dress in mind, and reviewed HERE).  The fabric for my dress is a 100% cotton Super Wax by Vlisco.  If interested in purchasing the same material, send me an email or leave a comment and I’ll get you connected with local vendor.

Loving the image enhancements from Instagram 😉

For this outfit, I was after a sleeveless figure with large straps and a flowy skirt. Let me know what you think of the dress.
