Tiptoe through the Tulips


This dress was made last year when I finished school. I practically lived in it all Summer and now I wear it all the time with tights and cardigans. I love the fabric- brown with little sage green leaves and flowers all running up and down.
I pinned all of the tucks until they moulded to my shape, and then I made the neckline with some cranberry velvet I had in my scraps box.

The pile of fabric next to me on the chair will be made into dresses to sell this week. 
Thank you for your comments everyone! It is so nice to read what you all think.

 I will put some more pictures up of my creations soon. Until then I am going to my friend, Laura's house to watch films!

  1. Wow Ruby! I have been reading your last few posts and you are so talented! The knitting is fantastic the sock monkeys so much fun, and your ability to recycle is not only thrifty but you have an eye for the perfect match. Keep up the amazing work.

    And I totally agree with super kawaii mama, you are ridiculously talented. I love the fabric of your dress too. It's so hard to find good fabric these days.

  6. Hello Ruby, I came across your blog and you look super cute and very very talented! The dress is beautiful - the colour and design is very chic! The way you made the dress "pinned all of the tucks" reminds me Vivienne Westwood, and I genuinely believe it gives a better shape of the cloth xxxxxxxxxx
