THIS DRESS WAS A SKIRT

It was very easy to make this dress. It was necessary just to add some straps to the skirt end a belt to give it a right shape.
How to made cap sleeves: cut the lace edge of an old panty, apply them on an elastic straps, to complete you can apply a little satin rose on the seam.
Et voilà..the dress is ready!

TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO WEAR A SKIRT THAT WAS A BABYDOLL

 I wore this skirt in two different ways: one with a Red Valentino's chiffon shirt and powder pink heels with socks, a little bit doll style; another way to wear this skirt is with a simple vintage t-shirt and flat boots to soften the naïve tones of this skirt.

Ho indossato questa gonna in due diversi modi: uno con una camicia di chiffon di Red Valentino e tacchi rosa cipria con calzini, un po' stile bambolina; un altro modo  di indossarla è con una semplice t-shirt vintage  e stivali flat  per smorzare i toni naïve  di questa gonna.

MY EX BABY DOLL

This skirt was actually a lace and nylon 60's babydoll  that I cut, I took off one flounce, and I curled at the waist with a smocking stitch.
Questa gonna in realtà era un baby doll in pizzo e nylon degli anni '60 che ho tagliato, ho levato una balza, e lo arricciata in vita con un punto smock.

BOTTON UP SKIRT

From the 70's 'till now all vintage shops have exposed suede button up skirts like the one photographed below. I saw someone in leather, denim, with scallop, in many different colors. I bought this suede skirt many years ago in a little vintage shop in Ibiza full of hippy clothes, it was love a the first sight, the first in a series , they are indeed followed by others , other colors and other materials I got them around....

 Da dopo gli anni '70 non c'è negozietto vintage che non abbia esposto gonne di camoscio a teli botton up come quella fotografata qui sotto. Ne ho viste in pelle, in denim, con lo smerlo, di ogni colore. Ho comprato questa in camoscio molti anni fa in un piccolo negozio dell'usato di Ibiza pieno di vestiti hippy, è stato amore a prima vista, la prima di una serie, ne sono infatti seguite altre, di altri colori e altri materiali prese in giro qua e là....

A DIFFERENT WAY

In recent years, clothes have changed quite a little, however, has changed the way people wear them.
If in the 70's this long skirt was taken seriously, that is worn as a long silk skirt for the evening, now with a short top, sneakers and a baseball cap obtain a completely different flavor.
 Today, the challenge is to find a different way to use what we already have, avoiding waste and trying to minimize damage to the environment.

Negli ultimi anni i vestiti sono cambiati poco, è cambiato però il modo di portarli.
Se questa gonna lunga negli anni '70 veniva presa seriamente, cioè indossata come una gonna di seta lunga da sera, ora con un top corto, delle sneakers e un cappellino da baseball acquista tutto un altro sapore.
 Oggi la sfida è trovare una via diversa di utilizzare ciò che già abbiamo, evitando sprechi e cercando di minimizzare i danni all'ambiente.
