V1549: Feel like a woman – wear a dress!

Well, my 1970’s Diane Von Furstenberg wrap is finito. I love it! I feel so… elegant wearing it. Which is bizarre because I usually always feel some degree of awkwardness when I’m out and about in public. But that’s probably just because I’m a rather awkward person.

Maybe it’s the swishy skirt?

Or maybe DVF was really onto something in her caption on the back of the pattern envelope – ‘Feel like a woman, wear a dress’ (should we change ‘wear’ to ‘make’…?)

You’ll note I ended up leaving it at the original pattern length, rather than modernise the thing by making it shorter. Perhaps a tad frumpy old-fashioned, but I actually rather like it.

Thanks boys, you really made my day :)
