So over this weekend I hope to post some pictures of my DIY efforts. They are mainly skirts (grey jersey maxi, velvet mini) and I probably won’t be showing the picture of the faux suede waistcoat I made for the staff summer ‘ho-down’ party!
I have had so much inspiration recently for DIY efforts – probably due to Balmain influenced shoulders.
Norweigan wood from Etsy has been particularly inspirational with her new line for Shrimpton Couture. She has done some awesome things with simple shoulder pad/bra cups and fringing, feathers, beads and various other embellishments.
I definitley think an alternative is achievable. I’m thinking almost band jacket shoulders with subtle embellishments on a plain black standard tee. I’ve seen the amazing harnesses norweigan wood creates, however, after a long deliberation I have decided these are not for me. Neither are cage skirts.
I’d love to hear about other DIY ideas you lot have. Also when I post my own efforts, criticism (however constructive) will be much appreciated. Ciao for the moment.
