Channeling my inner Nancy Sinatra....

This is what I wore to work today. I made this dress on Thursday. I went for a very simple design for this very busy print and it turned out very 60s mod. I am sure Edie Sedgwick would have liked something like this. So I decided to go for a little bit of beehive to finish of the look. I got some nice compliments at work. Thank you ladies, I know some of you have a peek at this blog every now and then.
Tomorrow will be the day of my 1st wedding anniversary. We've planned a day out with a romantic dinner in the evening. I made a dress to wear for the meal. I am very exited to wear it. I mainly make little cotton dresses at the moment as they are the most comfortable to wear in the summer but for this special occasion I decided to go for a beautiful brocade. But more about that next time.

  1. Gorgeous! I've been dressing more 60's recently. I find I often shift into the 60's in the summer. I have just finished making my first 40's skirt and intend to make a simple 60's shift dress next. I wish I could finish a dress in a day!! You look lovely - fantastic fabric!
