My Favourite Dress Of the Moment!

Just a quick post- I just had to share with you this new dress for my Etsy Vintage site. Its a lovely structured well made body con dress upcycled with a piece of wonderful vintage folk embroidery. The colors are stunning. I'm almost tempted to keep it for myself...

Tie me upTie me down...

I've seen a lot of designers that have used ties creatively to upcycle clothing and to create statement neck pieces and jewelry. Ive been slowly collecting vintage ties from Encants over the months- all lovely posh silk ones from Paris and Milan; Dior, Nina Ricci, YSL etc. Here are the first three statement jewelry designs that Ive created as well as a beautiful dress that I upcycled using a wonderful YSL silk tie around the neckline.
