Speaking of projects, the end of last week was mega-productive creatively (see my post later for the gob-smacking details and some grovelling). Not only have I managed to pull my writing fingers out at last, I even managed to make some Barbie clothes. (What? Me sewing? Surely not! Though calling what I did ‘sewing’ is vastly over-stating what actually happened, please don’t look too closely at the ‘stitching’, which my dad lovingly compared to field surgery).
Anyway, I made a laced corset thing which I am considering a first draft at the moment as it needs some refining, an unremarkable black tube skirt/little black dress combo and an evening gown that I am amazed doesn’t look too shabby!
Therefore:
Lucy is papped arriving at the BAFTAs to acknowledge her nod for Best Supporting Actress. She looks elegant in a flattering and wearable mauve silk Bogwitch dress. The outfit is completed with a matching bespoke clutch bag.
You’d never guess it was made from an old bra.

Snorfle. Very stylish it does look, though. All the Barbies are going to be flocking to the design house of Bogwitch!

As someone who cannot sew that looks very impressive. I don't think any Barbie would look that smart in one of my old bras!
Enjoy Wagamama :)

I think your bra-dress looks super fine! I like the color, too. Glad you got Bogs-approved gifts for your b-day. ♥

It was a nice bra, it's a damn shame my tits got too big for it.
I got excellent presents!

I applaud the re-use of bras in fashion design - I once used a piece of a basque to make something for a school costume for the daughter - sadly I don't have photos anywhere I can find!

I'm not sure I want to know why you had a basque lying around!
