Matching Your Dress To Your Teaware Part 17: Rockets in July!

I hope you all in the US had a wonderful 4th of July holiday! 


Tim was out camping with friends that whole weekend but I was able to drive out to them to spend time with them by the lake, had some great BBQ, and even got home just in time to see all the fireworks going off! With all the fireworks exploding in the sky, I thought this rockets teapot by Paul Cardew and my Bernie Dexter Rockets dress would be a perfect teapot and dress pairing to feature for early July!

This beautiful novelty rocket teapot has an incredible shape and amazing metallic embellishments on the lid, base, and decorative windows on the rocket. I love the geometric shape of the spout and that the handle is a fin on the rocket. Also, I love the blue color of the rocket and that it gradates throughout the body of the teapot. Such a super cute and interesting tea pot. It is made in the UK by Paul Cardew and can be found at allteapots.com.

What a lovely tea it would be to pair this teapot with my Bernie Dexter Rocketship dress! The Bernie Dexter Rocketship dress is a blue dress with small colorful rockets throughout the print. Like the Blue Rocket Teapot, geometric shapes are a continuing motif on this dress and can be seen in the over-sized collar and cuffed short sleeves which have a geometric angled cut to them. Also, like the Blue Rocket Teapot, the Bernie Dexter Rocketship dress (while very slightly) has metallic embellishments in the rhinestone centers of the buttons at the shoulders and cuffs of the sleeves.

How I would have loved to pull up a chair and pour myself a cup of tea from this gorgeous teapot while wearing my Bernie Dexter dress watching fireworks on the fourth of July! Such a perfect pair they are!
