This was my first Sew Weekly Challenge of the year! Here it is my Meringue skirt! It was based on an accessory my Grandmother’s long string of pearls and a 1950s gold flower brooch. They weren’t my only inspiration for this outfit! I was totally trying to channel Michelle Obama’s outfit.
I even managed to sew in these fab little labels Piemaker bought me for Christmas!
The fabric was a narrow width from Barcelona. Overall I'm pleased with the skirt and I think it would fit nicely into the graduate wardrobe.
It looks awesome on you and the colours suits you so well!! The brooch and pearls are lovely too! You're out to get a awesome graduate wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderfully crafted outfit. I like how you took the inspiration and made it your own! And the color palette is perfect!
