The Paris Dress

Why does this dress make me want to go to Paris?  I'm not sure.  But I always think of a Paris vacation when I see it.

I created this pattern myself and used a lightweight cotton.  It sat for months, just black and white and I could not decide what it needed to complete the look.   I am so glad I waited until I found the red twill tape rather than just finish it with the other ideas I was playing with.
