So when raiding my grandmother's sewing box in her attic, I pulled out this handmade beauty and fell in love again! It's a lace and black fabric dress she made in the 60s - 70s and the black fabric has faded to a lovely bottle green over the years.
Dress- Vintage
Tights - Primark
Shoes - Primark
Watch - Armani
It's become quite delicate - the lining is freying and falling apart other than just fading and I think will need a replacement soon. The lace has a couple of holes and needs a new eye for the hook and eye fastener. However I love it. I love that my nan made it so many years ago and that I caught the sewing bug from her.
If you want one similar, New Look has this John Zack lace dress for £39.99
Love the lace on skin look! What do you think of thick lace for Autumn?
I prefer your nan's dress! So pretty! And how lucky are you to find beautiful things like that in the attic? x
ReplyDeleteThat dress is lovely. I wish I could come across a dress so pretty in the attic! The New look one is okay but I feel like there are so many just like that.
ReplyDeleteYours is so unique. You look lovely in it!
