Found the Laura Ashley dress I had stashed......I love this fabric and print but the style of dress is for a woman without hips. I, have hips. Great shelves of child friendly hips that never need accentuating.
I have decided to upcycle this dress for me. Im going to go for a 90's grunge style short skirt, but raise the waistline to just under bust. The original dress has some lovely detailing in this section which I don't want to lose.
I may save the top of the dress and convert into a bolero style light jacket. The trick to pulling this ensemble off will be adding black tights and a band tshirt to bring the girly factor back to manageable levels.
