Before, as a little hippie girl, I used to make most of my clothes myself.
DIY this and DIY that.
I've made lots of dresses in fabrics like this, but I don't think I'll ever wear them again. Once again I try to remind myself not to be locked within a certain style (like "I don't wear bright patterned clothes like that anymore"), but I think I might not feel comfortable with myself in these anylonger. I would never buy any of the etno styled dresses h&m or zara etc. had a while ago even if I find them pretty in general.
Still, I relate a bit different to my old dresses, since they're selfmade and have a history for me. So I might still wear this dress one day, the one with the same fabric as the Hendrix dress above (and one of the few I fit in anymore) :
(hah! I found a spot for pictures, at least for now :)I have one in similar fabric but white, with a halterneck, très petite, that I'm thinking of selling, in case anyone's interested...

Great dress! It's great how your style has changed and how you have kept certain pieces for sentimental value.
i love your blog much. im adding it to favs...
s.
That pattern is gorgeous. And the colours really are stunning.
trés cool. What a funny coincidence!
This is such a different look for you but I think you should definitely wear it again! ... you look like a blonde, modern Pocahontas, and your tattoos are almost the equivalent to the intricate jewellery and body decoration of the native indians.
I think I actually prefer your dress to the one on Bona Drag.
It suits you perfectly and looks like the most awesome summer dress ever. :)
where did you get that fabrik?! i love it!
Hey puf-girls Im adding you too as soon as I get on with the new links :)
Ranna: Oh thanks
Anonymous: It's a very long time ago and I had a lot of these dresses, so I'm not totally sure. I either bought it from UFF, it was propably a long tunic, or then from a fleamarket as a fabric.
If you don't like it, you can always sell it to me ;-)
This dress is fabulous.
getpalmd : hmmm, I'll think about that...
wendyb: thanks!
