1970s caravan curtain + charity shop skirt turned delicate summer dress...

[loukr]

I appreciate this may also go in the recycled area, buuuut I thought I'd try my luck here forst, seeing as it is clothing :D

I was having a mad MAD panic.. I'd been organising a photoshoot for weeks now & promised to supply the wardrobe.. it was now the night before the shoot, and I had one.. unfinished dress!! AAAAHHHHHHHH PANIC! I quickly finished the first dress & all of a sudden I found this skirt in my huge 'reconstruction box', that I'd bought from a charity shop a couple of days before! I then raked about in my fabric stash and found a 1970s vintage caravan curtain that my gran gave me a few weeks before, fortunately the two went together perfectly! So I made a bodice and put the two together, this is how it all turned out :D

ps, the watermarks are there as the majority of my photography goes up online, you'd be surprised at how often these end up on myspace :(!


The whooooole thing!

Gosh what a brilliant job there! You'd never guess that it uses old curtains.

A lovely looking dress, though from your description of materials I had expected to see something retro - I think I prefer what I saw :)

Very professional a beautiful dress.

So pretty and delicate! I am not sure what I was expecting :D but caravan curtains don't usually top the style awards. That is amazing and I wish you all the best with the shoot!
