I've been wandering around in wellies all week thanks to all the snow that was dumped on the UK last Wednesday! We had a bit more last night but it's all melting now - it's in that horrible brown slushy stage. Quite a relief really, as I'm seriously running out of practical 'warm' outfits... but I will miss the snow!
Apart from going out tobogganing (and losing many snowball fights), I've been using my 'snow days' to do a bit of sewing. This dress is made from a huge sheet of teal corduroy that I found in a charity shop for £3. I have enough left for several other projects - I'm thinking of maybe making a cylindrical gym bag!
I used an actual pattern for this dress. It's the same pattern as this dress, minus the halterneck and bow.
As it was too cold to wear it on its own, I wore a striped t-shirt underneath and my favourite thrifted cashmere cardigan (originally from Jaeger) on top.
It's quite a bright ensemble - do these colours work together?

I saw you on Wardrobe refashion - this dress is so cute, I had to come check out your blog! I think the colors are gorgeous together, but I am definitely a fan on bright colors.
Cute dress! (I came over from wardrobe refashion).
And yes, I think the colors work.
Yes! The colours work beautifully together. I think they work particularly well because they're not colours you would think to put together, but when you do it looks tremendous.
Teal is such a gorgeous colour, I wish there was more of it around. It looks like you've done a fantastic job of sewing that dress, also!
This is such a great dress - love it! What was the pattern you used?
I know I say this every time, but you are a seriously amazing seamstress!! That dress is perfect. I love how these colors clash beautifully.

The colours work like a dream! I love this look on you - so fresh and pretty.
The snow is finally going here, too. Thank goodness - I'm so sick of sensible shoes!
I adore the color palette of this outfit! The dress is just darling!
Is there anyway you could do a really quick tutorial on this dress someday? I love how it turned out :)
You have such beautiful eyes. Making your own dress has to give you such a sense of accomplishment. I think the shirt you are wearing under the dress gives a nice complement of colors.
I love the color combination in this outfit! and the fact that the stripes on the sleeves go the opposite direction. and these photos are really nice. you look really pretty!
that is such a great dress! i wish i could sew!!
and i think the colors look very nice together.
