You can never be too old to put on a fluffy dress and dance around like a nong.
I found this petticoat in an opshop in the bridal section. I always look at bridal/evening dresses as they often yield an abundance of fabric to be turned into something else. I knew this petticoat would be perfect to wear under my circle skirts.
I chopped off the bottom layer of net and it was the perfect length.
It's a bit scraggly but I think I'll leave it.
On a completely trivial note, my hair is really annoying me lately. I bleach it and then dye it, but it doesn't seem to be holding the dye very well and is turning out all dull and grey. I don't want grey hair (yet). I want purple hair. So I'm thinking I might just cover it up. It's a pain in the bum to maintain; even when I'm not bleaching and colouring the regrowth, the stuff that's already coloured needs a touch up every 2-3 weeks.
I'm thinking of covering it up with a blue-black and using some silvery/white colour for the shaved side (yes, I just said I don't want grey hair. Silver is different).
I'm wearing a blue clip-in fringe piece in these photos to cover up some of the grey.
My blogging and commenting on others blogs has been random of late. I've had a lot on my mind, health-wise, home-wise. I'm about to take a week's break to see family interstate, some of whom I haven't seen in years. Seven days of reading, cups of tea, wood fires and sewing. Aahhhhh.
(Oh, and family, who I love. Ahaha)

Whoa, cool dress!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on how annoying it is to maintain high maintenance hair. I have use all of this protein stuff on my hair because my hair is so fragile, which is horrible for color. The color will only ever stay yellow, not blonde. I had it retoned last week and didn't wash it for nearly a week because I loved how it looked and then I washed it and of course...it's yellow again! I can't take it anymore. I spend so much money to have my hair look nice for a few days at a time! I just want to have my whole head bleached again because it's a million colors, but it will probably fall out. I just want it to be one solid color. The color weirdness doesn't show up in pictures somehow, but it's a mess in real life! I kind of want to just abandon this whole blonde thing and go red, but I was red for 4 months once, and that color was hard to maintain as well!!! Sorry I just wrote a long, complain-y comment. Have fun with the family!

ReplyDeleteYou are so true:You can never be too old to put on a fluffy dress and dance around like a nong.
You are delicious, and so is your cherry dress.

You are so beautiful and the petticoat looks wonderful under the dress =]. I really like the blue color in your hair. Thanks for your comment on my post, I've missed you too. I hope this is a really wonderful week for you.
ReplyDeleteWhat a frothy, fabulously lovely creation! Tulle just makes the world a more joyful place, if you ask me, and always sets me in a blissful mood when I sport it. You look so splendidly pretty, dear gal!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you have an endlessly relaxing trip and that the hair colour you're planning turns out exactly how you want it to. (Those clip in bangs are terrific, BTW - so very natural looking.)
