Hi all
For those of you that follow me on Twitter, I'm sure you're fed up with hearing about my hunt for the perfect dress to wear to a wedding but you'll also know that I finally gave up the hunt and decided to design my own.
I went out and bought some material, done a quick doodle and told my aunt (who is also a fabulous tailor) exactly what I wanted and WHAM BAM! She made it!
So this is what the finished dress looked like: Who said shorties like moi couldn't pull off a maxi dress!?!!? LOL.
It was a floor skimming (and sometimes foot tripping) number that was meant to be a one shoulder wonder but I ended up adding a thin strap to the other shoulder to give me a bit of 'lift', if you know what I mean ;-)
The belt around the waist was another extra that I had added to the dress to give me some definition and to avoid looking like I was drowning in a sack.
You can't see my jewellery properly but this is what I had on:
Small pearl studs - Topshop
Pearl bracelets - Majique at Oceanic Jewellers
Necklace - Majique at Oceanic Jewellers
I wore my nude patent Steve Madden wedges with the dress so it didn't look "ball gown"-ish in the day time.
I've got a FOTD and EOTD up next so stay tuned!!!
Oh, and here's a group shot of me, my cousins and my mum.. All of our dresses are one of a kind and made my amazing aunt!
Aren't they pretty!?!
It's bedtime for me so I'll upload the other post tomorrow.. Goodnight cupcakes!
Take care and remember to
