Hat - Market, Dress - DIY, Bracelet - Vintage
So I took these pictures at the start of the summer & never got round to putting them up. I usually like to have a little creative project while I'm off uni, & this was one of the things I ended up making. I didn't really like it at first but now I think it's kinda cool. I'd seen a Bitching & Junkfood dress that I seriously loved, but pennies were a little tight. This is my 'inspired' version, as it ended up being quite different. I've only got the basic sewing skills that my mamma taught me so I suppose it isn't bad!
I was going to do a tutorial, but in the end I confused myself that much that I don't think I'd have made any sense! If I did it again, I'd just have bought a camo vest & black maxi & stitched them together. Obviously that would have been way too logical.. ha. You live you learn! If anyone does have any questions then I'll do my best to answer them :)
Check out Georgia looking absolutely LUSH in the Bitching & Junkfood version. She is one stylish lady.

This DIY is amazing, regardless of if it went a bit haywire. It's perfect for this autumn/winter with camo having a real comeback.

If I'm being honest I like your version a lot better, I don't know why you didn't like it or didn't think you did a very good job because I think it looks amazing! I actually think it looks more expensive than the Bitching & Junkfood version too :) xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous houtfit, love the hat too <3
