Even though I'm a firm believer in wearing white all-year-round, nothing signifies spring like a LWD!  A milky-hued frock is the perfect blank canvas.  You can take an optic white dress and accessorize it with any color or multiple colors!  Or you can add neutrals, metallics and animal prints.

These are two of my favorite white dresses:  Vogue 1029 and Vogue 1087.  Both made in ponte knits.  This year, I've decided that I want a crisp, white shirtdress for spring.  And probably a sundress in a white crepe de chine for summer.  

Are YOU planning a little white dress for this season?

So this morning, I had an event to attend at Belk at The Summit.  It was a "Fall 2012 Fashion Tour".  I'll tell you more about that later.  Life has been crazy hectic for the last week or so, but I still wanted to make something new to wear.  So on Monday, I figured I'd prep and cut and on Tuesday, I'd just "Project Ruway" my way through the day and "Make it Work"!  FAIL!   I don't know what in the world I was thinking...  I, Erica Bunker, am NOT a speed sewer.  By 8 pm last night, it was painfully obvious that I wasn't going to finish and I was also having some fitting issues that I needed to work out.  I'll tell you about this later too.  I'm still deciding whether or not it's worth pursuing, but either way I'll do a review.  So I said, "Screw this!"  And I poured a glass of wine (or 3), closed my eyes and grabbed the first thing I touched in my closet!

So this is what I pulled out to save my day:  Vogue 1087, which is a Donna Karan dress that I made almost 3 years ago.  It's an off-white draped bodice sheath.  There is just something so classic about Donna Karan's designs.  They're so flattering and worth the time to sew.  I think I'm going wear another one that I've made soon!
