What a fun thread! Deborah, i'd love to see you in that dress - with your trademark incredible accesorizing as well, natch.
I've become more and more 'uniform' in my dressing over the years. I am very picky, with tons of practical requirements, and consistency in my style is one of my top three priorities. So uniform dressing makes sense.
I also sew - and making up multiples has many advantages. In the last couple of years i've made five version of two very similar dress designs both by Marcy Tilton. As Ginger points out, especially when sewing from scratch one can get a ton of variety out of using the same basic design - thru adding/subtracting various elements and also by varying the fabric.
The first two dresses and the 'frock coat' are Vogue 8876, the last two dresses are Vogue 9112. Most people would not think 'OMG she's wearing a uniform" but - i am! (pics 2 and 4 are the same dress - the back of that design is just gorgeous!)
However, when not in a print dress you'll likely find me in a white blouse and dark/black skirt.
