Also can you guess which photo was taken the day after my Kirin and sake fueled night?
Now I chose to make the skirt with some amazing vintage cotton fabric I found in my usual local treasure shop, the colours and print are beyond gorgeous and it gives a very 70's vibe to the skirt IMO, however given the layout of the pieces I ended with vertical waves and people in boats in the back, I can't decide if it looks horribly bizarre or if it's okay.
As for the top it's a halterneck pattern from the fifties which I purchased here, since my test garment was a bit large I altered it but it ended a bit tight, especially in the decolleté area. Well I'm fine with modest necklines so I'll wear it anyway!
The bodice is cut on the bias, there's a peplum in the front and the back is made in one piece with darts. I moved the zipper from the side to the back because I think it looks neater there. And yes I have already paired the top with the skirt and they worked really well together but sadly I haz no pic :(
That is gorgeous fabric - and I think it's cute too have the waves and boats going sideways or upside down. Big waves maybe? Both makes look really lovely and summery on you - I can imagine they'd look great together.
RépondreSupprimerThanks Gabrielle, that upside down print is growing on me :)
SupprimerCute as always. I really like that halter top and the fabric is perfect.
