Ladies Caroline Dress by Mouse House Creations

Ladies Caroline Dress by Mouse House Creations

I fell in love with Hayley of Mouse House Creations' Ladies Caroline Dress when I saw her post teasers and then post her own version on her blog... but I was afraid.  Afraid that the fitted bodice wouldn't be flattering on me, afraid that the length of the bodice would hit me at the wrong point and make me look even heavier, afraid that the full skirt would make me look like I was smuggling a 10 ton elephant through customs.  And then I got an e-mail from my amazing friend Nell over at Windham Fabrics asking if I had time to whip something up to photograph in their new GOTS certified Organic Cotton Line.  The fabric line, Petit Fleurs, is gorgeous.  A combination of wild and tame florals and colors that fit this year's trends head on.

The Coraline Clutch is a newer release from our friends and affiliate sponsors Swoon.  It has multiple size options, a zipper closure to keep all your goodies tucked away tight, and an optional wristlet strap.
