Blogging 101 Task: Creating a Feature
I was shopping the other day and looking through a rack of dresses, and gracious they were so plain and boring! I was seriously wishing I could just make all my own clothes because that’s the only way I’m going to be able to dress the way I truly want to. Sadly it’s just as, if not more, expensive to sew your own clothes as it is to buy them ready-made (unless you get a good deal on fabric, which is totally possible) but the idea of having a wardrobe of clothes I really love is tempting enough to make me consider that it might be worth the price.
Anyway, the blogging 101 task today is to create a feature, in other words to choose something to blog about once a week, once a month, however often you want. I’ve been thinking about this for a bit and I’d really love to share some of my favorite fashions from the past and present as well as costumes and accessories. I have tons of material already so I’m thinking once a week.
Although I guess this week is mostly an introduction, I’m going to share a picture of one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve ever seen. It’s from Chotronette which is a design duo based in Romania, you can order off their website but they only deliver to countries of the European Union (so I’m out of luck, not that I can afford them anyway. But seriously, check out their website! These are some talented designers).
Gorgeous isn’t it?
I’m really looking forward to this feature! My fingers are already itching to type up my next post. Speaking of next posts, next up is fashion from the 1400s and 1500s.

Making your own clothes would be awesome, there’s nothing I hate more than seeing another person wearing the same clothes I am lol, but alas, I don’t have the skills. 🙂

That dress is beautiful! Looking forward to reading your weekly fashion posts, I’m a sucker for fashion too. Have you thought about going to a tailor to update current pieces in your wardrobe so they are more you? x

Wow, that is gorgeous! It reminds of the ‘flower dresses” I saw last year at the Chelsea Flower Show (my first time there — heaven!). I used to sew some of my own clothes — lots of creative fun, and I love picking the exact fabric I want, as I’m something of a textile addict, but it does take time.
