After seeing this one ready, my husband said: “Finally, a proper sweater”, — which mostly refers to its “proper” length. I designed this dress picturing myself in a cozy cottage, cuddled near the fireplace, wearing nothing but this light cloud over my pjs. Had I picked a slightly different cc colour, maybe red, it would have been as Christmasy as they come.
The name Omela means “mistletoe” in Ukrainian and Russian, bringing us yet again back to the festive season.
