Another day... Another exhibition opening...

A cutting edge duo are exhibiting at the museum I work in... A dress is required... The pressure was on...

And the wallet was empty.

Queue a very old piece of printed silk crepe given to me by a friend's grandmother...

And some scraps of shot taffeta along with a pressing need to jump on the Suffolk Puff/Yo Yo bandwagon that's bouncing all over the internet...

Images are rubbish but hopefully I'm nearly there. Just need to hem it and pick up some cheap-o shoes from some high street somewhere...

Comments on a postcard to the usual address.

Weekend wandering

Borough Market in all its spring splendour offered a smorgasbord of asparagus and pick'n'mix mushrooms.

The Museum of Childhood made me happy in its floor...

and its cavernous ceiling...

Great cafe too...

It's all about the fabric

If ever there were a dress to prove that amazing fabric can bely basic construction and possibly even dodgy methods... this is it.

I'm not saying this dress is dodgily made at all. It's a large rectangle of amazing printed silk shirred all the way around the top. No zip, no shaping, it's all in the elastic. Excellent for the summer and a great way to show off the cutest of prints.

If I only I could get my hands on the fabric. Something tells me I shall now be ebaying for flamingo printed cotton.
