I have really enjoyed wearing my me-mades this week.
Compared to last year I have many more options to choose from despite auditing some of my me-made garments to the charity shop. The only thing I wasn't 100% comfortable with was my Tilly blouse - a tweak with the sleeves is a must if I am to keep this in my wardrobe.
How are things with your Me-Made-May?
I love how bright and colourful your wardrobe is. So many bloggers have a look like a "brand" your is lovely and varied shapes and colours.
ReplyDeleteThanks Louise - although somebody pointed out I seem to wear B&W + a colour which I hadn't noticed until they mentioned it!
DeleteGlad to hear you've been enjoying wearing your me mades this week, all look great! I like the fabric of your Tilly blouse so hope you are able to tweak the sleeves such that you feel comfortable wearing it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alex. I really like the pattern of the Mathilde blouse but the weight of the cotton is too heavy so the sleeves are too bulky and restricting. I don't have any of the fabric left so will need to remove the existing sleeves and re-draft. Maybe I can use the Colette Laurel as a sleeve pattern?
DeleteThat's a great idea to add a Laurel sleeve to the Mathilde; I don't wear mine for the same reason. Lovely outfits as ever and hope to see you on a meet-up soon x
DeleteI did the Mathilde sleeve surgery today transplanting a Colette Laurel in their place x It worked a treat.
DeleteWould be great to meet up soon x
Loving your work! You wear all of these clothes well. I'm considering the scout t-shirt as a new make, but not sure about the silhouette on me. Loving the Tatty too! I wore a Frieda today :)
ReplyDeleteGot to love Tatty's Frieda necklace - I get compliments every time she gets a trip out of the house x
