A Lemony Dorothy Lara Dress
Hello there, friends! It’s another lemon dress! This time a 1940’s iteration with the Decades of Style Dorothy Lara dress.

Hello, friends! I’m so excited to share this dress! I’ve been wanting a lemon print dress for AGES and until recently, I haven’t seen many fabrics that I’ve liked with lemons on them. I wanted a lemon fabric with a white background and as I have slight obsession with 1950’s Horrockses dresses, I decided that […]
