ETNO DRESS

Well well well...just as I've mentioned how busy I am I used my time reeeeally well and browsed through the internet without no clear destination visiting some of the shops I check every now and then. I guess Bona Drag is not a new aquantaince to anyone, but anyway, they had this Hendrix-dress which fabric was the exact same to one dress I've made some years ago.


Before, as a little hippie girl, I used to make most of my clothes myself.
DIY this and DIY that.

I've made lots of dresses in fabrics like this, but I don't think I'll ever wear them again. Once again I try to remind myself not to be locked within a certain style (like "I don't wear bright patterned clothes like that anymore"), but I think I might not feel comfortable with myself in these anylonger. I would never buy any of the etno styled dresses h&m or zara etc. had a while ago even if I find them pretty in general.

Still, I relate a bit different to my old dresses, since they're selfmade and have a history for me. So I might still wear this dress one day, the one with the same fabric as the Hendrix dress above (and one of the few I fit in anymore) :

(hah! I found a spot for pictures, at least for now :)

I have one in similar fabric but white, with a halterneck, très petite, that I'm thinking of selling, in case anyone's interested...

IN THE MEANTIME 2

Well here's a scentence I've written here many times before:
I've had so much work to do I haven't been able to post anything lately.
It's true though. Almost too many commissions, but hey, I ain't complaining. And my promotion at the other job has also taken a lot of time.

+ I still have some boxes to unpack at home and haven't found the wire to my scanner, thus no drawing-posts.

+ There is yet no good place in the new home to take outfit photos in (I'm quite the perfectionist, a slave to the details you know, can't take photos with ugly boxes and a mess in the background).

For now I'll just give you a (quite crappy- so much for the perfectionism:) pic of my newest tattoo.
It says forgive me.


But the person it is ment for has not seen it yet.
