OMG.

I’m completely in love with this. 

This just sums up everything about vintage fashion that I love so much - incredible work and amazing detail. 
I should have been born in the 30’s so I could have worn this in the 50’s. That would have been ideal.



Too much lining!

I’m on the 4th solid day of making 43 ballet dresses for the ballet school in Cowbridge and no matter what I do I just feel like I’m getting nowhere!

There’s still endless amounts of fabric to get through, its pretty much never ending… I’ve just had enough of lining - especially in pink
Lesson learnt - there is no way I can take on a challenge like this with 2 jobs and a business to take care of, at least I’ll know that for next time, until then I’m cracking on with the thought of making the most amazing dress I can dream of once I’ve finished, and I’ve got the perfect one in mind :)

Success is often achieved by those who don’t know that failure is inevitable.

Wedding Dress: "tick"

I finally finished the Audrey inspired up-cycled wedding dressNot quite as happy with it as I wanted to be but still, I made a wedding dress!

Trust me to choose the last day of sunshine for the rest of the year and for it to rain instead! But we did acquire an amazing dog for a prop! Next attempt soon I think, thicker fabric and twice as much tulle…
