black and white wrap dress Gingham Designed with a collar neckline Black and White Wrap Inspired

As dress and design historian Amber Butchart put it when curating Splash!, a recent exhibition on swimming and style at the Design Museum in London: Swimwears close relationship with the body means it reflects changing attitudes to modesty, morality and public display

This dressing is rich, tangy and easily made with just 5 simple ingredients balsamic vinegar, olive oil, maple syrup, Dijon mustard and fresh herbs

I was aiming for the sort of wide-set straps you tend to see on sweetheart dresses in the style of the 50's

I knew I wanted a midi dress since I would be picking up and moving around baby, but this brown midi sweater dress fit the fall vibe I was looking for even better than I hoped
