Something to rhyme with 'Blog'...

Before I get into the rhyme I shall explain the tea towel dress. I created this to wear to the Trash To Fashion Show in Waitakere last December to recieve a prize for my entry: 'Nigel- Domestic Godesque'. His cape was lined with tea towels which, incidentally, I designed some years ago for a souvenir company. We all have our bread and butter work and whilst not award winning native birds and flowers at the time, they did get to reign supreme in another form at a later stage. I made this dress from a reissued 1950's vogue pattern from seconds tea towels and a bit of blue cotton at $3.00 a metre. Total cost- about the price of two lattes. Not bad aye?
