Ok so I need your guys's help. I cannot for the life of me decide which kind of fabric to use for this next dress I'm making.
It's going to be a Peter Pan collar dress (of course, I'm obsessed.) with a fitted bodice and a box-pleat skirt. (kind of like inverted pleats). The problem is the fabric. There are so many different options and I can't make up my mind. I have it narrowed down to 4 options though.. I think..
Option 1 : White with gold collar.
Option 2 : Black with white collar.
Option 3 : White with black collar.
Option 4 : Salmon pink with white collar.
Option 5 : Black polka-dots with white collar.
Option 6 : Lace with white collar.
Ok I lied, I have it narrowed down to 6 options. If anyone out there has any suggestions, please do tell me because I am driving myself crazy trying to decide.
In other news, this is off-topic but I am bouncing off the walls with excitement right now so I thought I'd share. I was featured on Lauren Conrad's blog today. Yes as in THE Lauren Conrad. The one and only beautiful Lauren Conrad who dated the cutest guy ever and made my middle school years bearable. ha I am literally dying over excitement.
Thank you so much Lauren!
Thank you so much Lauren!








All of them?!
ReplyDeleteI love the white with gold though. Very classy and a bit of a twist on the normal girly Peter Pan style. :)
haha I know right? I seriously considered making all of them at first and then came back to reality and was like, oh ya, I'm a college student, darn it all. Thank you for your suggestion by the way! I agree, isn't it amazing? I'm really hoping I can find similar fabric because that gold is gorgeous.
DeleteOh my lanta! Congrats on making Lauren's blog. You are awesome I swear. I prefer the white with the black collar. But all of them are adorable.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carly! I really appreciate your feedback. By the way, is this Carly S? Your profile says it's unavailable but curiosity got the best of me so I thought I'd ask. :) If it is, I miss you girl! We need to talk more often.
DeleteIt sure is! I miss you too!
DeleteI really like all of them. I can't narrow it down to only one so I vote for the pink, polka dots or lace. =]
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you come up with!
Definitely the lace! Miss you, beautiful! <3
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously impressed that you made it onto her blog! Way to go!
ReplyDeletedefinitely WHITE WITH GOLD! stunning! :)
ReplyDeleteI vote either the black with white collar or the salmon with black collar. You can't show me these, it just makes me want you to make me some!!! I wish I could sew like you.
ReplyDeleteSo every time I click over to your account, I get all excited hoping that you've started posting on your blog and you STILL have yet to do that. Come on woman, you're killing me here!
DeleteI like white with black collar or black with white collar. I thought the gold collar was a little too loud, but then I thought, Haylee would make it work! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteWhite with black! But honestly, anything would be adorable on you, even a burlap sack! :)
ReplyDeleteSalmon pink!
ReplyDeleteHaylee,
ReplyDeleteyou just plucked another heart string showing off all these PP collars, makes it real hard to choose a fave. i'm kinda feelin' the white with gold though and later on, if the mood turns couldn't you always dye it black and swap out the collar too? i'm not sure cos you're the expert here but whatever you decide i know it'll be SO darling!!! you've got excellent taste plus the savvy to carry off anything and everything :)
totally all kinds of awesome about your feature on LC's blog! not a surprise that they chose you as their COTW - you're so amazingly talented, sweet and stylin'! xo ♥
laaaaaace or dots!!! or white w gold:)
ReplyDeleteHAYLEE, that is soooo exciting! congrats girl! I'm partial to the black and white. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the white with black collar! It may also be so cute to do a neutral color with a navy collar! That would be so adorable. I am in love with collars as well!
ReplyDeleteI'm so ecstatic for you being featured as Chic of the Week on Lauren Conrad's blog! That is a HUGE deal, don't let anyone tell you otherwise:) I was featured a few months ago and it really helped out my blog and gave me more confidence to keep doing what I love! Keep up the great work and keep styling yourself oh so adorable as you already are!

ALL adorable. I love the white with a gold collar though. More original than the rest. Black and gold would be nice too!
ReplyDeleteomg i was so caught up in your dress choices that i didn't see you were on lauren conrad's blog. that's amazinggggggg girlllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the lace but I also love the gold. What about Lace with Gold?
ReplyDeleteYou made this a hard pick. They are all so cute. But I would say I like option 5 or 6!
ReplyDeleteYay you updated! I vote option 3! It would be so cool if you could make it somewhat military style in the small detailing.
ReplyDeleteAnd congratulations on the feature!!! go haylee!!! :)
I love the white with black collar but all of them are amazing! I know I'm a little late but I am so happy for you about Laurens blog! You are just amazing in every way!
ReplyDeleteI love the black and white--in either combination. Also, that is so cool about LC's blog, nice work!
ReplyDeletecould you get any cuter??! my goodness. you've probably already attempted to make this amazing dress that will turn out absolutely incredible, as usual. but i am loving that gold collar!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite are the polka dots, salmon, and the lace! :D You're so talented. :D
ReplyDeleteWhite with gold!! But they're all cute, and they'd all look lovely on you!
ReplyDeleteSo cute hayley! I would choose the white with black collar. Or off whit and navy I think would also be equally adorable (:
ReplyDeleteWow congrats, Haylee! That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI saw go for the gold color one! It looks amazing and unique.
and by "saw" I mean "say"
DeleteOh gosh, I couldn't decide... I love them all! I'd say either white with gold collar or white with black collar. I really can't decide between those two!
ReplyDeleteAll these look gorgeous! I especially love the pink one with the white collar! x
