I just wanted to tell you more about a little skirt I made myself this morning.
You may recognise the fabric. It's from the 1950's roll I bought a while back. Well, the summery colours just wouldn't work in the Autumn/Winter so I dyed it with a light blue to tone it all down and it turned out great. Underneath there is just one layer of Tulle netting fabric.
I used a 1950's skirt pattern and rather than keep it around knee length which I was going to do, I decided to take it a little shorter as I will be wearing it with tights ( I do love my tights!).
It's to wear this Saturday morning at the wedding of a recent customer whose wedding dress I made (more about that to come very soon!!) and I'm popping over to take the dress and help with her hair.
I don't wear top to toe of one era so I think I will be wearing a navy American Apparel bodysuit and maybe my little pixie boots. Guess I will decide on the morning no doubt!
I actually have enough of this fabric left to make three more and I have the pattern for size UK 8-14 and I'd be more than happy to take a custom order for this little number and you get to choose the length too! One of these little skirts will be £55.00 with UK P&P for free (I will ship worldwide so please get in touch for rates).
Take care and enjoy the rest of your week.
