After two years of wearing only elasticated waists, I’m back to zips and buttons. But I refuse to wear anything tight, either on top or bottom. Loose shift dresses, long shirts, comfy t-shirts and sweatshirts are my staples. I’m a huge fan of Ace & Jig but I find it very expensive for cotton basic to run around the city in. Jill Sawatzy from Manitoba, makes cheerful breezy pieces from simple, printed cotton that would easily take me from pottery to the playground to dinner. I’m dotty about this blouse, and this dress would look pretty great over a pair of faded jeans or gently tanned pins.
