Well, she has her classic "SHIFT" dress in a fabric pattern called "Dark and Stormy"! I am in love! I think this must be a tribute to my grandfather! I think he told her to make this dress! This dress is in her "Original's Collection". She calls her "Original's" "10X more fun than ordinary dresses", and I truly believe they are! I have few of her past originals and I just think they are classic and it's like wearing a piece of Lilly history.
As for why I said this must have been a tribute to my grandfather it's because when I was little he would tell me this story called "Dark and Stormy". I just loved the story. The story would repeat itself over and over again. This is all I can remember from it now....."It was a dark and stormy night, and the waves were crashing high, and the captain said, "Sit down men, let me tell you a story....." and then the sentence would repeat. I thought it was the best! I guess I kept thinking there was going to be juicy story so I continued to listen.
My grandfather would tell all sorts of stories and all the time and I loved hearing them all. He served in the Army during WWII, so I kind of thought that story was made up while he over there. Who knows?! I need to find a picture of him and post it. I'll work on that! :)
But for now, here is the pictue of the Dark and Stormy Shift!! :)
The lovely Dark and Stormy Lilly Dress!! :)
Until next time, happy sewing! :)
