Every year the same question: What on earth could I wear for Christmas this year?
I didn´t want to go green-red-gold like a classic christmas tree decoration and I also didn´t want to make myself up with a “rudolf the red nose reindeer”-hood And I absolutly refuse to wear one of this synthetic fiber evening gowns. That ment DYJ again.
I had a piece of never used art nouveau fabric, some smaller pieces of vintage lace from Plauen in Germany, parts of some 1930s curtains and bits of antique lace and velvet ribbon. I dyed the fabric, curtains and the Plauen-lace, -the velvet ribbon already had a matching shade- and made a loose gown with overgown, inspired by those beautiful Titanic era dresses. I think, by wearing this dress, I can survive another Christmas.
