Here's something else that makes me happy...
I love it when friends come over with treasures from their mother's closets and say: "My mom was cleaning, we thought this was so you."
Why yes, it is so me! Thank you, Allison (and Allison's mom).
The dress is vintage and handmade. It reminds me a bit of late 60's early 70's Pucci. I love the fabric! It's so Yellow Submarine-ish. I think that I'm going to shorten the hem to knee-length. I also think that a white patent leather belt is in order...and maybe some giant white sunglasses as well.
What do you think?

My 8th grade school dance theme was "Hawaii 5-O!" My mom made that exact dress, a Mumu. The collar was magenta velvet and the dress was a magenta with white and pink Hawaiian print. All the other girls wore dresses that were completely different and at first I felt weird going in a Mumu...until everyone LOVEd my dress and after the gym got to about 400 degrees, well my dress was perfect.
Thanks for bringing back a great memory form yes, 1970! I think it looks fab on you and can only imagine how much better you will tweak it!
OMG - You totally rock that dress! Even the cat can't stay away . . . "mmm . . . psychadelicadeleeshus . ."
I love it, yes - white!! and some strappy sandals!
Most pucciesque!
Ooh what a great gift! I agree about the white belt but I love the length - it looks fab on you :o)
So very groovy. I love it! And oh yes, with strappy sandles.
Noooooo! Don't shorten it!
I love the fabric and colors. Looks great on you! :D
Its gorgeous! I love, love, love that print.
I think that dress is the cat's meow - and judging by the photo, I'm not the only one.!
