white cotton dress maxi Women's Je T'aime Toujours & Gathered Lace | Size: S Meet Carmela Estie Cotton Maxi Dress In

A friend of mine told me last year that shed spent some time playing Kate Winslets body double in a movie called The Dressmaker (not the naked kind, the clothed kind of body double)

Style it with strappy heeled mules and a micro bag to keep the look tight and intentional - or layer a tailored blazer over the shoulders for an artful contrast between structure and skin

In the case of the latter I would replace the black stockings for a more skin tone

After sorting through all my canning stuff (whoa, its a lot) and cleaning out our mud room and laundry room, I rewarded myself by playing in the kitchen most of the afternoon

The floral lace is both romantic and feminine
