I paired this dress with some nylons I purchased off modcloth, a really old, beat up pair of Kenneth Cole Reaction flats (I've tried to get rid of them a couple times and I just can't) and my cream cami-bra. The purse is a recent $2 garage sale find, Liz Claiborne, and it holds all my school books.
Some facts about Toile:
Toile (pronounced twahl) means "cloth" in French. “Toile de Jouy,” or “toiles de Jouy,” are terms that refer to fabric that was first manufactured at a factory in Jouy-en-Josas, a village located southwest of Paris, near Versailles. Typically today Toile refers to a fabric with a print on white or off white background depicting a complicated reoccurring pattern. In this case my print depicts little french children hanging out in a gardens.

I think you look classic and grown-up. Like you said, it's one size too big but it still looks nice. You could always get it taken in some day if you'd like. But I think it's a nice flirty but sophisticated dress :)
Yeah, I'm going to my alterations shop today, maybe they can give me an estimate for how much that would cost. I think I'd wear it more if it fit a little better.
Love the fabric!
I could get it taken in for $20, I don't think it's worth it. I just got my sewing machine fixed. I need to learn how to do my own alterations.
So glad we could be a part of your pretty outfit! Thanks for featuring ModCloth on your blog.
Your friend,
