| Lace insertion. The lace has little sphinxes and pyramids on it! |
After a hot, sweaty, dusty, day out, coming back to the ship and putting on something light and cool was absolutely heaven!
Where I live, I'm used to the heat, and the joys of having a fresh, clean outfit to put on, so I made sure to bring lots of easy dresses so I would have plenty of fresh clothes.
 |
| A chiffon afternoon dress. This was a great piece because it would work for both day and evening, depending on accessories. Here, I wore it for an informal evening. (Yep, I said informal - everyone on this trip was dressed fabulously!) |
 |
| A linen dress and coat. Coat?! Yes, coat. Covering up in the sun can keep you cooler! |
 |
| I should really do a separate post for my husband's clothes. He looked impeccable the entire trip! |
 |
| Same linen dress, dressed down for an evening trip to the souk. |
 |
| A quickie dress made from broderie anglaise fabric. Probably my least favorite dress of the trip, but still nice to have with. If you're looking for easy, this is how to do it - no hemming! |
 |
| Probably my favorite dress of the trip. I used an antique pattern, and tambour embroidered little beige 'pyramids' as a motif on the collar and pockets. I also learned to crochet so I could make cute little buttons! |
  |
| These were real clothes, not "costumes'. They got sweated on and beat up a bit. I wore this to a site, not knowing I would be climbing through a three foot hole into an underground crypt! And yes, those are sweat marks! |
 |
| This set was also made from a period pattern, tambour embroidered with a motif of papyrus. |
Your linen jacket and dress are just perfect! In fact, every outfit! However did you get them ironed? Very inspiring for a summer cruise.

Thank you so much! So I actually don't use an iron on trips, but I bring a travel steamer. I like the Joy mini steamer for domestic trips, and I have a not as good one that's dual voltage for international. I also pack my clothes in dry cleaning bags, which really keeps wrinkles down.
DeleteI'm always afraid to use hotel irons. I'm worried they haven't been well kept and might spit.
What a great photo op! And stunning work, as always.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was the best background ever!
DeleteYour tambour work is beautiful! It really adds a vintage touch to your linen dresses. I particularly love the first one, with the buttons. So cute! How absolutely amazing to have such adventures and in such lovely clothes!!!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Quinn
This dress is lovely as you.!

ReplyDeleteMy name is Tom cam!!! i am very grateful sharing this great testimonies with you all, The best thing that has ever happened in my life, is how i worn the Powerball lottery. I do believe that someday i will win the Powerball lottery. finally my dreams came through when i contacted Dr. OSE and tell him i needed the lottery winning special numbers cause i have come a long way spending money on ticket just to make sure i win. But i never knew that winning was so easy with the help of Dr. OSE, until the day i meant the spell caster testimony online, which a lot of people has talked about that he is very powerful and has great powers in casting lottery spell, so i decided to give it a try. I emailed Dr. OSE and he did a spell and gave me the winning lottery special numbers 62, and co-incidentally I have be playing this same number for the past 23years without any winning, But believe me when I play the special number 62 this time and the draws were out i was the mega winner because the special 62 matched all five white-ball numbers as well as the Powerball, in the April 4 drawing to win the $70 million jackpot prize...… Dr. OSE, truly you are the best, with Dr. OSE you can will millions of money through lottery. i am a living testimony and so very happy i meant him, and i will forever be grateful to him...… you can Email him for your own winning special lottery numbers now oseremenspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATSAPP him +2348136482342
