Green Tea Dress
Fashion has always tried to find the perfect green. Over the centuries many greens have made their debut -- jade, pomona, emerald, pea, hunter, camouflage, lime -- and usually died out within a short span of time. Green is a difficult color when placed next to skin, so it's best worn in small doses. However, my favorite green is olive, so I just had to try my hand at an olive tea dress circa the 1840's. The creamy ruching at the bodice, sleeves, and hemline help keep this dress from being to severely green. I really want to make this dress and see how good it looks on me! It's just so my style!
