After a wore a dress the other day that I wear fairly often, I've realised that I've never blogged it. I've never taken pictures of it. In fact, there are a bunch, going back years, that I've never taken pictures of! Maybe wearing more vintage more often has made me go through my me-made dresses a bit more quickly and often, so I've noticed some that I know I haven't taken pictures of. But it really is a shame not to share! I'll have to make it a point of going through the backlog and taking pictures. I'll throw up a few teasers here though :)
Here is a quick picture of the one that made me realise it. I recently went to a talk by Dr. Colleen Darnell (vintage_egyptologist) on vintage fashion (Just hearing her talk on Egypt would be amazing) and I stressed out so much about what to wear! I mean, King and Queen of vintage right there. So I pulled out this one (black, multi dots), which I also wore the week before, and reminded me that I never put it up here. And many others besides! I do love this one those, easy to make it look authentic, even though I dress it 40's and it is a 50's pattern. It really made me brainstorm about some other dresses that I want to make that are wearable to events that I don't want to be casual for. Though casual for me is still usually overdressed. I've got a few 30's dresses in mind though. Solid colours, with some detail work on them. Like the 'dress like your grandmother' dress but for other seasons and other decades :)
Anyway, I'm putting this up to hold myself accountable :) I put a lot more pictures up on instagram if you want to check that out :) @nmresendes
And I just took actual pictures of a new dress today, so I'll get those up as well!
Take care kittens!
