Here&#8217;s another design that I created after compiling a few images&#8230; If I had to come up with the <span style="color: #ec694e;">ultimate outfit</span> for a <strong><span style="color: #236323;">St Patty&#8217;s Day party</span></strong>, this would be it! I started out with the green dress photo above but found that I would have wanted to wear <span style="color: #ec694e;">something a little more exciting</span>! As you can see on my drawing, I added <strong><span style="color: #236323;">some ruffles</span> </strong>at the bottom of the dress and lowered the neckline a bit. St Patty&#8217;s day falls on <span style="color: #ec694e;">Thursday</span> this year, enjoy!</p>
