In my last post I described the dress I was making, included with a picture aswell. But I decided that look far to much like what a Grandmother would wear, so changed the design. I cut into the top of it to give it a heart shape and then added lace straps. I think it looks abit more modern and can layer it on-top of different things now. Also made the waistcoat today, but it still needs to be pressed, so the pic will be uploaded next week sometime. Was the first attempt at making a waistcoat, so think it came out quite well. Found some super-cute gold buttons with anchors on, which give it abit of a vintage-look. So the dress and waistcoat cost less than £5 and took less than 5 hours to make, not bad.
Was searching through the photos on my camera today and came accross some of the other dresses I've made, here's 2 of them, both finished. Sorry for the awful photographs, it's not my forte..
The top 1 is by far my favourite. It has a plain, navy blue cotton layer underneath, then the chiffon on top which has been sewn into a shape at the front, with ruffles down the side to give it shape. Sadly haven't had a time to wear it yet, seems abit formal to wear on just an average day, so for now, it's hanging up in my wardrobe.
