Margaret is challenging herself to make one dress each month... but well as usual when I get my teeth into something I couldn't stop!! I knew I wanted to use some Basic Grey papers that I bought a long time ago...I could picture them in my head.
My first dress is using one of my favourites and just had to have this bird as it's focal point.
Number two includes some lace effect paper and some more of my lace stash...
and I just had to add some half pearls and some bling :D
Number 3 is using vibrant colours with some soft muted pink....
I layered... decoupage style... some of the gorgeous cerise pink floral pieces from the paper and then made some shabby circles for more interest.
Finally (well for today at least... I'm addicted now..lol) I must've been having a sober moment ;-)cos I made A SUIT. The paper was just saying... 'make me into a suit' honest IT WAS!!
A few half pearls for embellishment... a couple of paper cuts for interest and some patterned paper for colour and Bob's yer Uncle I was finished.

Hope you enjoyed the fashion show.

P.s love the suit!
These dresses are amazing. I'm still trying to make mine from the pattern I got. I adore the fact that you made your own patterns. All are lovely, but the one with the bird knocked my socks right off me.
They are fabulous! :)
