You are definitely not alone on feeling a bit sad when summer turns to fall. I try to keep my joy up with engaging projects… I think your makes are very well made and flattering on you, including Sicily dress. Perhaps a necklace with white stone or such near your face would pick up your own perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Jumping in to comment on your lovely slip dress. The fit is beautiful on you. You have altered it to suit your body in a very lovely way. I am probably old enough be your auntie so take this as you will - can you add something like a sweater in your colors to accent your face? I personally need clear whites and jewel tones or brights for my coloring so I understand your hesitation to have this off-white/beige color next to your face. It can be fixed but I think the black sweater is too stark. Perhaps a red or a brown or green that compliments your skin tone? Prints open up options.

I actually think the last dress is really pretty on you color wise. If I had to guess on your color palette you are an Autumn.... you have contrast in your features, and between hair and skintone, but black almost seemed too much? I'm a winter, which goes more to the cool side with high contrast, but have been thinking black is still a bit too dark, so you might be in that boat too if you are more cool. Color Me Beautiful is a channel (there at least was a book published probably 30 years ago that my Mom had, but they are still around and started putting out discussions in 2020 about color palettes and such while working from home. I think you mentioned kind of trial and error figuring out colors..... maybe not this video, but anyway, highly recommend checking out their videos to help figure out the color situation. Anyway, love watching your projects so far, and am just getting into sewing, so it is interesting to see how you go about planning your handmade wardrobe.

I stopped because of bad quality materials and since found some great shops with high quality fabrics. Thanks for the inspiration. We are going to summer here in South Africa and I have some patterns lined up to try out. Have a great rest of your week!!
