That's what I've been told and I still keep to that principle even today.
And the same goes for all my fashion reconstruction projects.
I could have started on this project much earlier but since this fashion reconstruction project is not a simple project to handle I decided to put it on hold so that I could finish the easier projects first.
This cocktail dress caught my eyes when I was on my way home after a visit to the doctor's, back in Hong Kong in 2011. I'm an impulsive shopper whenever I'm feeling under the weather.
Thankfully, this is the only dress in my possession that is made of Thai silk. The reason it is not a simple project to handle is because its edges fray easily. I would not repeat the same thing unless someone were to pay me a handsome price.
To complete the ensemble, I paired the dress with a pleated hockey skirt and sleeves taken from a kimono cardigan which I no longer wear (both were bought in the early 90s).
Regardless of the difficulty, I managed to finish the project within 2 weeks.
The finished dress is simple yet elegant and I like it because it fits comfortably, has no zipper or fastener which made it easy for me to slip in and out of it.
Who could tell that this was a cut-and-paste project, if I had not disclosed the facts?
I can proudly say that you cannot find this item anywhere. 💃🐒👌🙋
