The Aphrodite Dress and Bamboo = The Perfect Marriage!

The Aphrodite Dress and Bamboo = The Perfect Marriage!

Who else is excited about this amazing Bamboo Amber is offering this time!?   Let me gush about it for a second and then I'll take you to the pattern.   Bamboo is LIFE for warm months!  It's like the summer equivalent of squish! It's crazy soft, breathable, gorgeous drape, and so vibrant!  It's perfect for flowy pants, cardigans, dresses, tops, skirts, and really anything you want some pretty drape on.   Bamboo is kind of "heavy" but light meaning it definitely has weight to it but doesn't feel like it when you are wearing.   It also doesn't have the best recovery so...
