This is the third year running I have taken part in "Dressember", a month of wearing dresses.
Now, most people who know me know I pretty much only wear dresses anyway, plus skirts. I rarely wear trousers or jeans, and only give in and wear yoga pants for yoga and running tights for running/walking.
I like taking part though,it's fun to share photos with friends who are also taking part.



I have been sharing "Dressember" photos with my friends on Facebook since 2011, but I believe the group had existed for several years before then.
Some people join in to raise money for a favourite cause, some people like me just enjoy chatting frocks with friends.
This year our little group has had to change it's name to Advent Of The Dresses, because I believe "Dressember" is now trademarked as an official charity, with stricter rules. That's ok for some, but for me it doesn't work. I prefer to make my own rules as I go along and have fun my way, with my friends.

I'm trying this year not to repeat any dresses, I need to update my wardrobe, and "Dressember" is a great way to weed out anything that no longer fits or feels right. I'll try to wear as many of my self made dresses as I can, and will hopefully by January have a much better idea of the kind of dresses I want to make in 2014.

The photos here are the first 8 days of this December. A couple of these dresses will probably not make it through to next year.
