Inspiration Time - Clothes Edition

Today I went to a meet-up with the local EGL group and it was absolutely wonderful! Everyone was so nice and even though it was extremely hot due to the heatwave, we had a fun time. Afterwards, I felt inspired by all the girl's lovely dresses and chatting with them about sewing. Thought I would make a post about some clothes items that inspire me and I absolutely love. These pictures are ones that I've discovered over the years on sites such as Pinterest, Instagram and Tumblr. I don't know how to describe my style. I tend to go with whatever is in my size, affordable and fits well. I only look at sale racks when I shop for clothes (that aren't say active wear or essentials like pyjamas). Nowadays I don't buy clothes much as most shops here are fast-fashion stores that just sell junk and I'm not game enough to buy clothes online due to not being able to try them on. But I'm always looking for inspiration on the net for items I would like to sew for myself or keep an eye out for.

First off, here are a few dresses that I adore and would love to have in my wardrobe. I'm a huge fan of anything with a Peter Pan collar and quite a number of these dresses feature that style of collar. I think comfortable dresses that you can easily slip on and are suitable for hot weather are my type of outfit. It always nice to feel comfortable and not feel constricted when wearing clothes. Anything that is kinda breezy is perfect and short dresses are the way to go. I'm not a fan of long dresses or maxi ones, I prefer ones that finish at a shorter length. Winter is perfect for woollen dresses paired with tights and boots. I like wearing warmer dresses in winter as then you don't need to wear multiple layers when it's freezing cold.

Gorgeous fabric on this dress.

I love the blue tones.

Style Boutique 2 + Angelic Pretty Dress

Whilst searching on Pinterest for baby-doll inspired dresses, I came across this particular dress that reminded me of one in Style Boutique 2. It doesn't feature the same library print  as the Library Dress but the colours reminded me of the dress. Not sure of the exact name of this dress, but it is from Angelic Pretty.

Here's some pictures of the dress from Style Boutique that I was talking about. It was part of the Japanese Autumn Goods DLC but was incorporated into the EUR/AUS and NA versions of the game when they were released. All I can say is that can I please have both these dresses in real life?
