After the success of the shower flower adorned shirt, I did indeed turn my attentions to doing the same with a skirt. I wanted to create something that was unapologetically over the top. And over the top it is.
It reminds me some kind of ballerina tutu. It took 8 hours to complete, which doesn't include making the base skirt, so in total it was almost 10 hours and very sore fingers! It was pretty painstaking to actually create and I can safely say I won't be making another. I will however continue to explore using the shower flowers in other ways because I just love how they look.
It's not exactly for the wall flowers out there and I won't be wearing in an every day situation - it'll be reserved for going out to play and going to London, but I will definitely be wearing it. Bizarrely it's very versatile. Teamed with a plain vest and some high heels it actually looks quite normal - or maybe just normal in my eyes.
It indulges the whimsical, fairy tale side of me which is rarely given the time of day. And it gives me something which resembles hips which is always a bonus. My Prince reckons it makes me look like Bubble from Absolutely Fabulous. I know I should be insulted but somehow I'm not!
