Hey! I made a dress!! & Had a movie filled weekend!

So I don't really have much to talk about today... Pretty quiet weekend! I did however finally watch The Great Gatsby (Oh My Life!!) It was in fact perfect! I am a fan of Baz Lurhmann's work, so I knew it would be good but I never imagined it to be THAT good. The perfect mix of old and new and the costumes and the acting just flowed beautifully. I'm definitely going to watch it again on my own, you know how it is girls, I had the boyfriend wittering on all the way through it!!


I also made this little beauty at the weekend. I've recently become a 'collector' of vintage fabrics because the quality I feel is so much better and a lot more special when it comes to making these 'one off' items.... In fact i'm just going to rant for a second! Where I live there is a lot of designers that make 'one off' dresses... Not one is unique and one off, they are all the same except there is variations in fabric but all the fabric is bought from the same shops/stalls....
Any who, so I made this :D It's a super soft cotton with a floral print in muted pinks/greens and greys (sorry for the crap pic) I was going for a dramatic look so I made the collar huge and it can be worn in many different ways :) I personally think it reminds me of a Vivienne Westwood style dress. What do you think?
