My finished skirt, was expecting more of a pencil shape but it's okay a bit A-line. Fully functioning zips! And here's my black over-the-knee socks :D
The beginning of the process of Project Make Formal Dress. This is just a mock-up to see if the pattern for the bodice I'd bought would fit. And it will! So this is not the material/colour the actual dress will be.
New Mink Pink dress ($10 from Landes) - actually too short/cut away on the sides to wear as a dress without tights - and my grey over-the-knees.
Scrummaging through Mum's wardrobe and found this old vintage dress of hers. I actually really like it, if it was shorter (I'm holding it up in these pics) - I want to put it up but she won't let me ):
Another from Mum's old wardrobe. It's very business-y but it's sorta casual enough if it's a bit shorter. We'll see ;)
And just in case you're interested in random aspects of my life...
Homemade pizza topping; me making the most of my naughty friend and taking an arty shot; playing around with the focus on my new camera; chocolate bear Mum bought me; last year's formal ring - still loves it; Saints bracelet I quickly made yesterday after spotting random ribbon of the right colours.
How's that for a post, hey? ;) Oh, and just open the pics in a new window for full size, I just made them smaller so they'd fit here.

that vintage floral dress is so gorgeous, some of my favourite stuffs stolen from my mum's wardrobe ;) shame you can't shorten it - maybe you could just use a belt to put it up?
Agreed, your mums dress is really nice. The business one looks good as it is, I dont reckon you need to shorten it. Cant wait to see your formal dress exciting!! and the background of your pictures look really rustic, i love it. Pizza looks amazing!
