NEW VINTAGE DRESS!!
Bought this vintage dress at a secondhand shop in Leicester.
It has a really flattering shape, and I love the lace details!
I've cut off quite a bit, since I don't use long dresses so often...




I'M ADDICTED TO FABRICS...
Found some great fabrics in the market, so I just couldn't resist!
The blue one is a linen/cotton mix, and seems to be of good quality.
Want to use it for a dress, and use the floral one to make some nice details on it.
The one with the floral pattern is a Liberty fabric, cotton. I just love the pattern!! Also got a rusty coloured cord fabric, which probably will end up as a dress as well... And the nice buttons? From my sister's button box!

BACK TO THE 50's

This is a dress I made last summer. I used
a pattern from a really old Burda Magazine
to make the top, and then attatched it on
to a circle-cut skirt. I also made straps that
I can attatch whenever I want. The picture
shows the strapless version. I've worn it a
couple of times, and I'm really happy with it!
Re-Designed Retro "Granny's Dress"

I bought a cheap second-hand "granny's dress", just because I liked
the pattern on the fabric. Then I completly transformed it by
removing the sleeves and the collar...
GIRLY SUMMER DRESS


Made this dress for my goddaughter.
Love the fabric! The apple pattern is so cute...
