You guys will probably see and hear  the words Italian wool blend until your ears fall off, but the fact of the matter is; next to silk, it’s my favorite fabric to construct garments with. I love wool because it is water resistant, it is insulating, it is durable and it blends extremely well with other fibers which provides infinite possibilities. I purchased this wool/lycra/silk blend from Mood Fabrics last year. This is a self-drafted design. I love this dress so much because this type of sleeve cut suits my shoulders well and you just simply can’t go wrong with a midi length dress. Combine the two and we have this fabulous piece.

Fashionably Fit Update: Now, for more important things…LOL. So I set out to lose 15lbs by April 1st and I’m happy to report that I am so on target. I haven’t stepped foot on a scale yet, but from the fit of my clothes I can certainly tell that I am heading in the right direction.
