Map dress






Again, this is one of my favorite dresses. I wore it at several occasions but the most notable (which was the reason I wanted the dress) was Jemma's and Aiden's wedding. The V outline at the back is one of my favorite things about this dress. I have an obsession with old maps and the colored outline allows me to wear the dress with strappy heels and clutchbags in either red, yellow or blue.

I looked for the fabric for quite a while but most of them seemed childish. This one was elegant and is made of a very fine cotton, a really stunning fabric. I had this dress made by a tailor. Instead of just picking up the dress, I used to watch him make it and learned quite a lot.
