With all of the things that seem to happen at this time of year and all of the places that you tend to go, I thought that I really needed to have something nice for me to wear!
I have been seeing lots of skirts getting around blogs of recent weeks and when I saw this on Ethel loves Fred and I thought perfect. I have actually had the pattern sitting in a box for maybe 12 months now because I thought that it would look to full on my small frame. Claire was kind enough to let me know what she did to make it look not so full - Thanks Claire.My grandmother sent this material down last time Mum and Dad came to visit and I really wanted to show her that I do actually make something with what she sends me. So what do you think? I dont think that I would have actually chosen the fabric had I seen it on the bolt - but it looks nice made up.
And I am pleased that some how (out of pure luck) I managed not to have a big blue flower right on my behind! (opps and you can see the petty coat in that photo - but only because of the angle (I was doing self portraits again)
And I will add this one in - cause I like the clouds. I have not worn a shirt tucked in for so many years - but as I was walking through Myers the other day I saw that all of the models had theres tucked in - so it must be the fashion - right?
Looks great Kylie, it is always nice to make something for ourselves rather than the children all the time. Enjoy your time away.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt looks great Kylie and you look lovely in it! The fabric is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteKylie - it's fantastic. Well done. I love the blue. It's gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous Kylie - I've been wearing mine with the tie at the back too - I actually wore it today, as it was so hot in Sydney!

ReplyDeleteLove the fabric, I have a Nanna that sends me some 'unique' things too.. I love the dress you made your daughter, very nice.. I make one similar at the back, so easy to wear and will fit for a long time..
ReplyDeleteVery nice!! I love it- blue is a favourite of mine,and it suits you really well. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love it Kylie, I'm starting to like skirts again too but can never find the "right" top or shoes to match. I also don't have skirt calves.
ReplyDeleteIs this wrap around? My Mum used to make us wrap around skirts.
Beautiful skirt Kylie - I love it!!
