How I wore it +how I would wear it now

After receiving such lovely comments about the dress I decided to post a ‘how I wore it’. And yes I am sure it only took 74 minutes to make, that’s how long the trashy movie I was watching while I made the dress went for.

The dress is actually really sheer (especially under light so I either have to wear a top and tights underneath it or make a lining for the dress.

Thermal Top: /

Belt: I have no idea, I think it’s vintage… I dunno, I just found it in my bucket of ‘clothes I bought but never wore’

Tights: 60 denier from Target!

Shoes: Yellow, perspex heel wedges, I thought maybe I’ll do a ‘matchy’ thing but right now, in hindsight it doesn’t look that good…

Bag (not seen here): I was in a rush so I just dumped the contents of my school bag into my black Guess bag…

 

 After fiddling around with it (the dress) I realised it can also be worn as a ‘cape dress’ and I put on some suede Mary Jane’s.

I think I might buy some more fabric (opaque preferably, suggestions?) and make another one, except I’ll stitch the gathering down so it can be a real cape dress.

Chanel Resort/Cruise 2010

Along the snaking boardwalk of Venice Lido, (a place popular with Coco Chanel in summer) models waltzed down the catwalk in clusters. Some like sex on the beach, others like walk on the beach, I like fashion by the beach. Nah, I’m not that huge on beaches. But this resort/cruise collection really won me back over to the Chanel side, after a few seasons I was beginning to think Karl had run out of ideas. I’m so glad he waved his wand and “reinvented the mystique” as quoted.

 

 

  

 

There were cloaks (oh, how very Harry Potter, Lisa will be happy about that), tricorne hats, girdles, bikinis, sailor suits, plenty of stripes, shimmery sequins and my favourite, pleated dresses. Not to mention the masquerade mask style sunglasses , someone sign me up for a pair NOW!

All the models I thought were off the scene was back(Inguna Butane and Snejana Onopka) but my favs(Natasha Poly and Vlada Roslyakova) weren’t there!

Oh I hope this forecasts a congruent collection for ss10! If so I would be a happy chappy!

PS. Do you think the crew of muses, editors and celebrities on the side got sand in their shoe?
