Mum and I went to this new-to-us fabric store near her last week and I bought this fabulously obnoxious 70s style cotton lycra as well as some other pretty fabrics. I made it up into a version of the Burda Style Fatina Plus the other day, ordinarily a very simple pattern but my machine throws hissy fits every time I bring a stretch knit fabric near it so it took all day! I shortened the pattern and lengthened the shoulders to make some self-sleeves and now I have the best, most obnoxious, little t-shirt dress for summer.
Dress: Made by me
Teggings: Re/Dress
Shoes: New Look
The way I edited these photos reminds me of the Happy Litte Vegemites ad and with the Hills Hoist in the backyard, this post is chock full of Australiana. You ripper Rita?
Ooh! I like! Glad your machine eventually allowed you to sew your dress. Stretch sewing can be such pain!
Also – was in re-dress NYC today and mentioned how I saw their teggings on your blog. And then I bought 2 pairs!
Stretch fabric can be a total pain in the ass if you dont have an overlock machine. Im lazy to the bone, so if I do knits, I sew only what I have to and leave the edges raw because they wont run!
Wow, that dress is amazing. I very unironically love that print. Its so bold and cheery. :)

I swing by your blog pretty often, and lately I just keep coming back to this post to enjoy your pictures. That is such a fabulous dress. Plus I love your hair and your dog is cute as hell, so.
(You make me want to sew!)
