When fashion magazines talk about how big nautical style is going to be this summer, as they do every March, they usually mean those awful white pants with buttons on the front, or the uninspired striped canvas bag with rope handles. I believe in a slightly more literal interpretation. Which is why I have designs on this fabric:
The picture is blurry because I kept toying with the size, but if you click on it, it’ll take you to a better picture (the magic of the Internet at work). For reference, those boats are about 2 inches tall – subtle it is not. I think a whole dress might be a little over the top, but a full skirt with a white sweater would be really cute. Much cuter than stupid sailor pants, anyway. Of course, I have three other fabrics to be sewn into skirts before I’ll allow myself to buy this one. We’ll see how long that resolution lasts.
