I had to wrestle with my tailor

But finally she agreed to hem this dress to the length I want. It fell below the knee before and it made it look like something you’d wear to the laundromat. Now? Not so much.

My tailor disapproves of anything higher than just above the knee. We go through the same song and dance every. single. time.

Take a look at the sneak peek.

Wore the dress to dinner (happy birthday ma-in-law!) with my ma’s bag, which feels so summery, so vacationy. I just might have to bring it to Turkey with me (on Wednesday!).

    great job, even from a reluctant tailor. Ha, i guess i better not go to her if she disapproves of anything just above the knee.

    your countdown to Turkey begins!

    great photo, sunny light like in Paris yesterday. That’s great you win against your tailor… I sent you a drawing this morning. x
