Here's a dodgy phone pic of how I wore it to work afterwards. I wore the silver top (a Vogue Issey Miyake design I made a few years ago), no tights, and a dressier jacket to the concert. Too excited to get a pic of that! Did I mention that the concert was AMAZING!?
And after I finished that I started this dress. Which I put aside for a while to work on something else, then came back to and finished in record time. If I'd gone full-on from start to finish it would have been done in less than a fortnight!
I wanted to try this dress pattern (the long version of my words top) before I commit to a more labour-intensive embellishment idea. I like it! I love the cardy I'm wearing in the above pic - a mid weight long sleeved bolero from work, which I do not yet own. It matches my dress perfectly, so I think it might be my next purchase.....
