Birthday suit

Ok, somebody forgot to rotate the pictures and is so stupid she doesn't know how to delete them from the post. Whoops sorry! Stand your laptop on end / tip up your monitor forthe best effect!
It was my birthday last Saturday and I made this dress out of the vintage fabric I bought at the vintage fair the other week. Sadly nobody had remembered to take a camera to my party so there are no pics of it actually on me as yet but I promise one before too long. The pattern was a very lucky 50p charity shop find. It has princess seaming which is perfect for someone my shape (narrow back, big boobs) as there are a lot of seams to tweak for the best fit. I put cute little patch pockets on it to hold girly essentials. The total cost for the fabric, pattern, thread, zip and binding came in at less than £10. This pattern is going to get used a million times at least!

This is a dress I've been threatening to make for at least a year now, I was reluctant to cut up my precious Last Shadow Puppets tee shirt but I'm glad I did as it is now so much more wearable.

Here's a little trinket I picked up while shopping in Chester yesterday, a necklace that is also a watch, isn't it sweet? It was from Wallis and at £9 in the sale I thought it a worthy purchase - my only purchase all day actually, I impressed myself! I might put it on a different chain though, or even perhaps a thong.

and open-

I've not worn a watch for so long now I'm not sure I need one any more.

And finally, a link although I'm not so sure it'll work! Oh, to be competent at these things...
