Self drafted 📐 tie neck blouse in viscose print, self ✂️ cut off rtw jeans, 👢from Scarpa, belt from Dallas airport 🛫, also Barrett bralette, pattern by @mmadalynne
Can you see the hole in the hedge by my right ankle? Our cat 🐱sleeps in the garden and goes in and out through her own memade door😄

#memademay19 catch up from last week! This time you get a back view because it is the more interesting one! I made this little black dress from a stretch cotton jacquard that I purchased from The Fabric Store @wearethefabricstore The pattern is an uneven check in matt and sateen, and it is quite rigid. Initially I purchased it to make some pants, but when I latched on to the idea of a dress in this silhouette it was the perfect fabric. (Now I have to buy new fabric for those pants, darn...)
The pattern is self drafted, a basic boxy shift shape (just a front bust dart and minimal back waist darts) with a boat neckline and hip length gathered skirt. I love its simplicity and it suits my shape.
I didn't want it to be too simple though, so I put an exposed zip in the back. The zip was recycled from one of my son's old hoodies, consequently the pull was kind of masculine so I jazzed it up with some neon ribbon that you can probably just make out if you look hard!
Bonus is it looks good with sneakers and boots.

Hello! Here I am after missing a #memademay day, never got around to uploading yesterday's shot, will do eventually. Meanwhile back to today where I'm wearing a #burdastyle dress that I made a couple of years ago, in fact there might be a photo of the fabric way back in my feed to accurately date it!
I had this fabric (a viscose georgette) for ages and always loved this print so it is good to be finally wearing it instead of staring at it in my stash! I'd love to tell you the style number but that would take ages to find, yip this is another one that was never blogged!
It is a little bit sheer though, so I'm wearing it over my Artemesia lace dress which is my own design from 1999. Hardly relevant because you can't see a thing here. Also hiding is my #handmadelingerie a navy and black boylston bra and self drafted highwaisted undies.
