Sew and Sew

One of my friends is getting married. As she doesn't want a big fuss she said 'not to buy anything to wear specially'. So I made something instead.

As she is going for a retro theme, I made a 1950s style dress. I think I overengineered it a bit with many layers, intefacing ,boning etc, it is more like a girly armour. But my most complex sew to date.

My current project is a bit different, I am restoring a rather abused 1950s cocktail dress I brought at Armstrongs in Edinburgh, my favourite vintage shop. More on this later.
