Liberty on Liberty

As you know I do like a Liberty print dress.   I found a couple of new ones earlier this spring at The Bay, which is a Canadian department store that has been sort of flailing around these last few years.  In trying to pump up their fashion offerings they've brought in some different brands, such as Liberty Art Fabrics.
These particular frocks were on sale real cheapie.  I liked the patterns very much but I struggled with the belt situation.  I'm not a massive fan of the self-fabric belts, yet the frocks were already verging on too short for my legs and adding a proper leather belt seemed to hitch the hemline up even further.

Last Thursday's errand outfit.

So I was using opposite fabric belts on the dresses, mixing up the Liberty patterns.  With both frocks I wore a Brora linen and cotton cardigan in sky blue.  The Kiel James Patrick seahorse bag is proving rather more useful than I had previously imagined: it looks small but it carries quite a bit, even holding my LV agenda quite easily.

Well, these Liberty dresses are currently winging themselves down to my sister Carolina in Georgia.  You may wonder why I would part with them as they are useful and breathable cotton frocks (which are lined in cotton as well).  You may also wonder why if you consider the direct fact that I am 5'7" and my sister is 4'10".  Won't these be swimming on her?
No, for Honey I Shrunk The Frocks.  I put these through a cotton wash with a bunch of other summer clothes and in my absentmindedness I stuck these frocks in the dryer on "Extra Dry".  I think they're going to fit my sister perfectly!
So Carolina let us know how you like them.
What about you, have you inadvertently shrunk anything recently?
