This is one of my favourite dresses. I'm in love with the colour and the crystals (as much as any embroidery or bead work) are my weakness. I wanted to make something a little more sophisticated, yet not too old looking and with a little bit of a twist. As you probably know from one of my previous posts, I went through a great deal of trouble looking for this fabric, as it seemed like it disappeared from all the fabric stores in Belgium. Eventually I accidentally spotted it in a window of one of the small textile sellers. I got quite a big chunk of it. And voila, here is the dress.
Here I'm wearing the dress with that crazy big bow on my head. Not sure why, but lately I've been very much inspired by the hair pieces. It's not only hairbands, but all sorts of hats and chunky accessories. In a way they add something special to the whole look.
