I’ve put more about making this dress on Wardrobe Refashion (don’t feel pressured to go and read, I just don’t want anyone to have to read about it twice, so I won't say it all again!). I’ve trimmed the threads, and it’s ready to go. I can’t say I’m sold on the pink (although I wonder if a bit more of a red tinge to make it a true fuschia might have looked quite attractive), but I’ve got to admit, I do quite like the dress, and I might experiment with making some more and with different colours. If it was black I think I would actually wear this. Perhaps I’ll overdye it when the race is over?
I’m leaning towards some kind of makeup to go with it: something like this, maybe? I should go and dig through my makeup bag and see what I’ve got. I haven’t worn makeup in a year. What’s the worst that can happen if you use old eyeshadow? Botulism? Ha. Much better than spending £1.49 on a pot of eyeshadow from Collection 2000. (That’s a joke. Obviously good eyeshadow hygiene is always practiced meticulously in this household.)

That is such a fun dress! Very cute.
Fab dress. I just saw the Grayson Perry crack and I know I'll be chuckling to myself all morning over it
I'm a bad girl who still has some make up from the 80s at the back of a drawer........ as for that look - I can't comment for you, but I know for me it would just look like I was trying to hide but inadvertently emphasise my laughter lines
Oh God! I never thought of that. Perhaps I'll just go and buy some stick-on crystals from Claire's Accessories. (Are you allowed in there if you're over 18?)
I suspect that once you get that dress on no one will ber worried about make up and you'll just sweat it off anyhow. I have a ready made disguise for Claires Accessories - a 9 year old daughter!
