Sometimes life calls for a break…I took one back in February and I still go back to the pics every now and then to relive the great time. I also have makes from the trip that I have yet to post so you’ll have to relive it with me. Ha!
When I travel to a southern destination, I have a particular uniform that I always wear…. a long knit dress or skirt, cardigan, scarf, leggings, and a hat. always.the.same.outfit.
It works though. For the plane ride, I feel covered and warm then, upon arrival, we usually have a drive so I can shed the layers and pare down to the dress and hat. All ready for the sunshine. This dress is my new travel uniform. I made it using M6744. I used the bodice of view A and the skirt of view B. It really is a perfect summer maxi and what makes it even better is how easy it was to make!
Being the only blogger on our “three generation vacation” I was both doted on and teased for my need for photos. Case in point… ma seour, photobombing the heck out of this picture! No shame that girl…no shame. That’s why I LOVE her so freaking much! This was my favorite picture of the entire trip…it completely sums up the fun we had.
wow wow wow!! Your dress is AMAZING and I´m loving it <3
I bought a fabric similar to yours two weeks ago, will be a maxidress too 🙂
kind regards, Esther
Maxi dresses are the best! Thank you Esther!
Love it! and what’s more, I made it just like you did, bodice A and long skirt. What a great look.
It just seems like the best combination…right!? Thanks Coco.
Beautiful summer dress on you! Love that photobombed picture!
My sister is the best and I love this picture too! Thanks Tomasa!
Love it, love it, love it.
Awww…thank you Faye.
Lovely dress – makes me want to go on holiday!
Thank you Lauren!
Your sister looks airborne! Such a fun shot. Looking great on the beach. Agree with the travel wardrobe.
Haha! yes I guess she does! Thanks Janet.
That is a cute shot, everyone needs at least one friend like that!
It’s even better when she’s your sister!! Thanks Mary.
Your uniform is working for you! And in spite of the teasing, it looks like your sis has a similar one in the photobomb!
Teasing is a required skill for a little sister….she is pro! Thanks Morgan!
Haha! that photobombing picture is fantastic! I love that one the best too… it really showcases the fun you must have all been having together. A family holiday is such a wonderful thing to do together 🙂
It really was the best trip! Thanks Carolyn.
Long maxi dresses are perfect for everything I think! I’ve been wanting to make another maxi dress and I like the elastic waist in this one. Gonna have to check that pattern out!
Maxis really do work for everything and when they are in a knit….heavenly comfort! Check this pattern out for sure..
A maxi dress for travel? What a great idea! More reasons to make one! Your dress looks great Margo and I love the sister photobomb!
Thanks Heather! My sister is awesome…
This is a great make! Absolutely love the fabric….ikat can’t get more classic. You’ll live in this come August…….
Thanks Laura! You’re right, I will be living in this come August…hopefully!!
Maxis are holiday perfect aren’t they. Enjoy!
Thanks Gail, they are.. comfy and cool.
