On my giant charity shopping spree the other week I made some time for a quick (...long) visit to a material shop. After 40 minutes I emerged from the shop with some green tartan, some grey suiting material and this spectacular, reversible, floral fabric!
This post is named 'Dress #2' because the dress is made with exactly the same pattern as the tweed one. I plan to make yet another one with the grey suiting material - to be my 'business dress' for university, haha. And today I finished making a slightly adapted version out of the green tartan fabric (I'll show you that one later!). They're the simplest thing ever to make - two identical panels sewn together, with little 'princess' sleeves (I traced the sleeves roughly from one of my shirts). Who knows, I might even make my prom dress using the same pattern!
In keeping with the 80s style fabric, I styled the dress with my denim jacket and thrifted purple belt. And voila - an outfit suitable for day and night :).
What are your favourite things to read about? Tell me what you think - I'm listening :D.

I really like the sewing post!
This dress is really nice!
Totally gorgeous outfit. Your fantastic at making these dresses! Lovely 70's style look, lovely pattern on the dress!!
In terms of your blog i love this style of post and the 'how-to's' and i also love your 'what i wore' posts. Love your blog!

You're really talented with a sewing machine, I'm jealous! I used a sewing machine today for the first time since my accident and, well, it looked like a 5 year old had done it haha! :)
I love your how-to guides, as I'd love to be able to make my own clothes like you. I also like your style posts and your inspiration!
xxxx
Oooh how pretty! I love the fabric you chose :)I dont think I have ever seen reversible floral fabric before! The belt is the perfect colour to go with it too, you're very talented with the old sewing machine :) xxx
I love it when you write about your own projects :) Please continue with it.
Did you come up with the pattern yourself to the dress? It's so simple and pretty, if you did come up with it yourself it would be fun if you could post it (:
I love your entries on what gems you've found at Charity shops (and what alterations you've made!) I have millions of things/clothes in my room I've bought from charity shops/bootsales but I just don't have time to photograph them. I plan to though! x
Ahh, I would so love to see some how-to guide, I've only just started sewing and am a little confused. Haha.
You are seriously amazing at designing and making your own clothes.

I love love love your outfit posts, they're filled with inspiration. But I also would love to see more tutorials on how to make these lovely things (:
that belt goes really well with the floral fabric!
do you overlock your seams or just lockstitch? xo
More DIY, please!! You're so creative!
i cant beleive u made that dress!!! its lovely - wanna make me one? lol! first visit to ur blog - love it defo following x
I love the dress and how different it looks from your first one even though it's the same pattern. My favorite features are "what I wore" and "how-to guides"... I love outfit pics because it's cool to see how other people are expressing themselves through their style and of course how-to guides are always useful!

Oh, I'm totally fine with the "What I thrifted and sew"- posts, they always give me so much inspiration!
This dress looks like it was made for you! Love the belt too.
Umm, I'm always a fan of the how-to posts, as well as thrifting finds!
The print on that dress is so adorable! That's so great you sew and are able to make these dresses- need to learn!
Hiya! Sorry for the late reply :)
Good luck prom dress hunting! The jaquard one is gorgeous, but the things on ASOS are so overpriced :( Aww gutted about the competition - but well done to the winner! Love, ruth :) xx
I love the dress! It's lovely with that belt. I would like to read more 'how-to guides' because I want to make such a dress too! I am trying to sew but it's quite hard so you have to help me:P.
