What do you do when you can't sleep? Well you sew something lol. I have this sundress & it is plain & boring but oh so comfortable on hot summer days. So I decided it needed a pop of colour so I added a couple applique butterflies to the top & the bottom. I used my lovely batik fabric as it has so much colour & looks good for the butterflies. I may add more but not sure if it would be too much what do you think more or not.....It actually hits in just the right spot & not where it shouldn't land. I was ever so careful about the spot I put it on

Super! Love the butterflies. I agree with sjbrower another smaller on the bottom with the orange...and while you are at it why not just one on the back shoulder. Great work, now get some sleep!
Hugs, Nadyne

Thanks Michelle, ~hugs~

Perfect touch of color on your dress! I've always heard the rule of three as well. I think a smaller blue butterfly along with the orange at the bottom would be cute. Thanks for sharing this with us Loralye.

PS... while sewing is good fun... so is sleeping. Hope you sleep better tonight! Sharon

Sharon me too, I have come from the BIA & am told that the change in my sleeping is due to the barometric changes. I do hope that has passed so I can sleep in my reg routine lol thank you so very much, ~hugs~,

The butterflies set off the dress nicely

It is a new dress lol, Sarah thank you so very much, Where do you think I should put it?~hugs~

I love the look of B&W with just a touch of color strategically placed. This dress was already pretty, but looks terrific with the butterflies added. Nice job!

I would add an orange butterfly above the blue one, and a blue butterfly above the orange one at the bottom.

Just lovely! Maybe add a butterfly to the back right shoulder area, parallel to the left front one? If you need a third one, that is. Lovely as is now!

Sonja thank you so very much, ~hugs~

Hi Loralye, I know the old saying is to group things in 3! It depends on if you do put another one on - where would you put it? Love Chris
