Grøn chiffonkjole til sommeren / Green chiffon for summer
We have wonderfully warm summery spring weather at the moment, and I lacked dresses for this weather. So I went “shopping” my shelves with clothes for refashions. I found this thrift shop chiffon dress last year, and loved it. It had so much potential.
Lige på billedet er den klasseeksemplet på, hvorfor lige-op-og-ned løst tøj er en virkelig dårlig idé til mig. Kjolen var så også for stor, en str. 44.
In the photo you see the reason why straight-up-and-clothes is not a good look for me. The dress was also too big, a size XXL.
– Jeg tog kjolen ind i siderne i overdelen,
– Jeg rettede ærmeåbningerne til, så de passede bedre til mig.
– Jeg lavede indsnit i ryggen, så kjolen sad mere til der.
– I took the dress in at the sides from waist up to arm holes.
– I refitted the arm holes, so they fit me better.
– I made two darts at the back to make the dress more fitted there.
– Og så satte jeg en lille snor i sidesømmen. På den måde kunne jeg trække det løse yderlag til side i en lidt toga-agtig stil.
– And then I put a little piece of string in the side seam, either side of the overlay piece. That way I can pull the overlay to the side, and fasten it, and get this toga-style.
When the overlay is pulled to the side, a belt works really well with this dress.
Kanaliserer de gamle grækere?
Channelling the ancient Greeks?
Lagde du mærke til min lille mini-dam i baljen? Jeg har lige lavet den, og det er simpelthen sådan en nydelse at have lyden af rislende vand på terrassen. Planen er at tilplante den mere med fine planter, måske også en lille dværgnøkkerose.
Did you notice my mini pond? I just made it, and I so enjoy the sound of calmly bubbling water right on my terrace.
I plan to have more plants in it, maybe also a tiny nymphea.
