One Poppy Dress

This weekend my Mum visited and we went to the markets, and she taught me the art of bargaining (usually I'm a bit too nice). I hardly ever find clothes I like at the markets, but this time I picked up an apricot blouse and a poppy dress for the princely sum of 15 bucks. Bargain.

.

The dress had a gray background with poppies strewn across it, and was nice but a little, well, sack-like. But hooray!
.

Did I mention my Mum was a dressmaker? Well, she ruched up the sides, made a low scoop back and added a strip belt. All in four hours. And I wore it to dinner that night. (In the exitement, I forgot to get a 'before' photo to show you. Just imagine the same, but a sack. And the 'after' photos are a bit doss. Sorry.)

Now I love it. Thanks Markets. Thanks Mum.
