I’ve been working on this dress that is not a dress for a few days now, it's inspired by poppies that grey in massive wild fields around where I live. The top is a corset style top made with cotton under a layer of red lace. The skirt is chiffon layered over dress lining. I made the pieces separate so that I could wear them apart as well as together, I sometimes wish I could take the top or skirt of a dress and wear it alone so problem solved! The headband is flowers made from left over cotton.
I also wore my new roller skates, I got them at a charity shop that I visited on the weekend, I bought a typewriter for £5 and the skates were free with it! Also, they were red and matched this outfit so well, I just had to wear them. After the shoot I rode them down the biggest hill around, on a lovely smooth path, what fun!
Let me know what you think of the new format for posting photos. Too big? Too crowded?
