SSS - days 9, 10, 11 and 12

Hopefully soon I'll blog about something other than what I've been wearing this month! I've got the day off today and am making a new dress! Hopefully it will feature soon.

Day 12

I've decided that I actually really love this refashioned mustard blouse.

Day 11

I bought this gorgeous vintage yellow linen from eBay ages ago. Lemon is one of those colours that I absolutely adore, but I don't think it adores me. Initially I wanted to make a dress from it, but I thought it would be safer as a skirt, so it wouldn't be too obvious that it doesn't suit me.

The top was once a lovely 1950s blouse but it was massive and very unflattering so I saved the front and the button-up back and used pattern for my black lace top to turn it into a crop top.

Day 10

Sorry about the terrible photo and my friend's foot. Better view of the dress here. I'm also not supposed to be wearing that bloody cardigan ever again... but I just can't seem to part with it! Argh!!

Day 9

This is my attempt at making one of those enormous-shouldered Balmain blazers that were all the rage a couple of years ago. Each shoulder has 2 of the biggest shoulder pads I could find stacked on top of each other.
