Fleur D'Orange

Raise your hand if you read the Sartorialist.  That's where I found my inspiration this week for Project Run and Play.  I saw this orange beauty of a dress and knew that's what I wanted to use.

With Pearl, my only redhead, as my muse, I.  Had.  Fun.

I ran with the orange and turquoise,

Getting creative with the back, making another faux placket [yeah, no buttonholes],

and used some orange trim I've been saving for such an occasion as the "collar".

I beaded my signature in iridescent turquoise beads,

and added some fun touches for pop.

One of "my" sweet young women from church came up with the name for it meaning Orange Flower in French.  I just might start calling Pearl my Fleur D'Orange :).
