Lulu Letty: A Sailing Babydoll

When I found this dress, I fell instantly in love, but I hesitated since it had been tampered with. Someone had savagely cut off its original white collar. But still not wanting to pass it by, I decided to make my own sailor collar for the dress. Doesn't it look perfect.

Yep. Collar added matching all other white borders of the dress. Intelligent thinking implemented.
Thanks for sharing.

Your shoes are wonderful! So "adorable", (and I rarely use that word). Love the white tights
It would be mine

Such an adorable dress, and the sailor collar looks amazing, I would never have guessed it wasn't a part of the dress!
I love your blog, you have such original style!

You totally saved that dress, adding the colar really pulled it together. And the way you styled it is just adorable. Lovely as always :)

The collar put everything together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My cousin bought me this pair of shoes as a present! I am still waiting to get them. Are there any comfortable? They look amazing but I am a bit concerned about the hight!

Goodness. This is one of those dresses I would have overlooked but you brought it out so beautifully as usually!

jenloveskev  – (May 12, 2010 7:38 AM)  

That collar is perfect! I love the whole look. So I have to say my splendid clogs came in the mail the other day and I instantly fell in love. I have been wearing them with everything but then I totally fell with them on. kev has since banned me from wearing them until after the baby comes. whoops. Maybe they will just make appearances for outfit photos.

You look darling!

bestie  – (May 12, 2010 9:09 AM)  

Most perfect. Dress. EVER. Love the alteration!

idée_géniale  – (May 12, 2010 11:32 AM)  

Gahhhhhdddd! I love everything about this outfit. I want it all. like everything here, on me. now.
those shoes look dangerous and after hearing about Jen's mishap maybe they're not NYC shoes, therefore I should pass them up. you look great!

Lauren Moyer  – (May 12, 2010 12:30 PM)  

Oh my gosh!! I didn't realize you were a fellow Michigander... How great is that! I love your style

Michelle Elaine  – (May 12, 2010 12:31 PM)  

I like the Jeffrey Campbell clogs, but who am I kidding I love anything Jefrrey Campbell. They don't look like typical clogs though - I also like the Miu Miu clogs, but that's cause I'm obsessed with Miu Miu this season :)
