I just got this great dress on Etsy. It's based on an American Apparel dress (the Le Sac). You can wear it several ways. I think I might try to make my own. It seems pretty simple.
^ That's really cute and looks really comfortable. I love Etsy. And I mean l o v e. Gets me in trouble. I've been looking and looking for a dress on there.

I think I have enough leftover fabric for one of these. Guess I know what my next project is.
Does anyone have suggestions on the best dress fabrics? I usually just wear shorts and a tank to festies but I'd prefer to wear a pretty, flowy dress. Unfortunately, I have thigh chafing issues (which BodyGlide doesn't fix) when I wear dresses and I tend to sweat a lot in heat. Cotton and satin are both way too heavy. I was tempted by silk but even that seems both too heavy and too delicate. I'm afraid I'd rip and tear it while dancing. Help!
Look for cotton gauze! It moves way more and it is pretty forgiving and way cool. For the thighs, gold bond or shorts, sucks doesn't it
All of it is SUPER easy, plus I plan on gradient dying my pair of pants. This, along with my EL wire light-up cowboy hat for night shows. I'm very project-heavy this year.
What's the difference between a cotton dress and cotton shirt/shorts?
I don't generally wear cotton. I usually go with synthetic blend fabrics. I wear the shorts because they prevent my thighs from chafing but when I wear dresses my thighs get chafed raw. Huge difference.
I swear, this is the best thing ever for chafing:
It's formulated to prevent chafing on long-distance runners, so it lasts forever and won't sweat off, even in Roo heat You can get it at running stores.
I used to never be a dressy girl either, but since I found this stuff I wear skirts and dresses all the time.

Agreed! After a major failure of gold bond at Summer Camp last year, I switched to body glide and it saved my ass. Well, my thighs actually. I like the monostat chafing gel, too, but body glide is waaaay easier to apply. Plus, I once had a tube of the monostat stuff explode in my purse. Not good. I still keep a pair or two of bike shorts around just in case.

I just ordered this dress from Target. I love it and they have lots of different colors! I'm a little worried about how it will fit though since I'm definitly not lacking in the boob dept. I ordered a size bigger than I usually wear so hopefully it will be ok. If it fits I think I'll order the pink or purple one too!
I just got those pants in the mail today and i LOVE them!! They fit perfectly. I was a little worried though, because its a "free size" and the model is smaller and shorter than I am, but they are still really loose and long and soooo comfy. Definitely only for night time though, they would be very hot during the day.
So do accessories count too? I made this hair clip for my friend & when I gave it to her yesterday, one of the first things she said was, "I can't wait to wear it at Bonnaroo!" It made me smile.
This isn't the best picture of it, but this is the only one I have on the computer right now.
Oooh! That dress is beautiful & looks very comfortable! Where did you get that, madbramble? I just hate that I'm short, so the longer dresses usually drag the ground hah!
