Hello again :)
It has been a while since I did any posting on here, I've been enjoying myself rather too much on holiday in Cornwall...
I recently received an email from one of my blog's lovely readers, Paolina.
It's really wonderful, check out her little post here! It really made me smile getting such lovely feedback from a reader, Thank you Paolina! :)
But back to the post...
I made this little dress a while ago now, but I seem to have taken a rather long time to post about it!
I bought a rather huge denim maxi dress from a car boot sale, reduced the hem a considerable amount and took it in by making darts front and back to give a more shapely fit.
I then added some lace around the neckline to create a peter pan collar (...I really must stop making things with peter pan collars, I have too many!!) and popped a little cameo brooch in the middle. I have worn it a couple of times with a brown zara cardigan, and my mum's old leather belt that she has had since she was 12!
:)
Sophie, I love it. I wonder if you could make one for me? xx
ReplyDeletei have a dress identical to this, it was a maxi dress too, and i added darts also. i might have add a lace collar too, this looks darling! x
ReplyDeleteThat dress is fab, I need to get some sewing skills!
ReplyDeleteI love the blend of the denim and the lace! So inspiring - your blog is kicking me back into action after a whole summer of no sewing! x
ReplyDeleteyou are so talented! i love the way you make (and photograph!) clothes -
ReplyDeleteI am so inspired by your peter pan collar editions - i'm trying to incorporate more peter pan styles into my wardrobe but im finding they are hard to come by! i am going to try and do it DIY. thank you for the tip!!
