For nani IRO month Trine, from Groovy Baby and Mama, introduced Naomi Ito to Christine Haynes and the most wonderful nani IRO Emery dress was born!

I don’t know Trine well but I am a huge fan of her sewing and styling and I’ve come to think of her as the Queen of Effortless Minimal Chic. That’s her official title, in case you didn’t know. She sews for her kids and herself and every sewing project she posts elicits a gasp from me. Some of my favourite garments she has made are this dress, this sweatshirt and pants, and this dress and cardi. Those stripes!

Another favourite is, of course, her latest dress. I love the silver mountain view print as an Emery dress! Visit Trine to see more beautiful photos of her gorgeous dress plus a bonus project here!
