Okay, so my second belated BBB post has arrived! This is what I wore on the day. I had dreams of crop tops and short shorts but sadly the weather called for a shift in my plans. I even had to bring my tights back out for the day!
This dress is my latest sewing project. It's made from a vintage 1960s shift pattern I bought on eBay earlier this year, with some 60s patterned polyester I bought at Brighton Marina car boot sale in January this year for £1! The pattern features a contrasting section for which I used the reverse of the fabric, and added a small bow made from some old white scrap fabric. The collar went a little wrong, and the dress needed shortening to fit me (for some reason it came out calf length, even though the picture argued otherwise. Whoops!). It was a step up from my normal sewing projects, though the stretchy fabric meant I could avoid zip fitting.
Teamed with bright blue tights and clashing red shoes.
Dress, handmade (total cost £7.50 including the reusable pattern!)
Tights, M&S XL
Shoes, Priceless, £10
...and a bonus styling method, from when I debuted it at work earlier that week on a sunnier day:
This time teamed with bare legs and some vintage peep toes I bought from Otley car boot sale in Leeds last year for £1.50!
