“MeMadeMay (2019) day 16. Flowery dress for blooming spring trees. It’s going to rain any second now, and the trees are all going to drop their blooms, so I took my photos a little early! This dress is so stupidly comfortable, I regret every moment of being afraid that the print was too much.”

A Very Hamilton Christmas Dress makes its return. Once again, Simplicity 4673, from 1954.

…Can I admit that I keep looking at all my selfies and asking myself how, in 2019, I was still wandering around with mostly invisible eyebrows? It’s really because I think I was still doing them with powder instead of an eyebrow pencil, and so I was pretty limited on what I could do there. I do think it is highly amusing that it really wasn’t until I retired from burlesque that my everyday face became substantially more dramatic.

Also, it’s difficult to think of anything else to say when you’re looking at a dress that you’ve already talked about, and there’s really not much different about your styling. Like, I know that this doesn’t have to be the whole Lord of the Rings Extended Edition complete with actor commentary and 17 bonus documentaries or anything, but I really like having extra stuff to say after all these years.
