Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Well it is that time of year again when we Aussies pretend that we are in the northern hemisphere with snowflakes, reindeer, and spruce rather than dust, heat and water restrictions. In saying that though, we can wear slinky gowns and dance the night away without freezing! So yes... it comes, tha annual work Christmas party. The theme this year... "black and white". In my abundance of free time (choke) I decided to make my gown and as you may see it is in the audrey hepburn/jackie kennedy style... ie vintage vogue. I am quite proud of it myself... What do you think?

The only problem was... I was in a rush on the night and we forgot to the the "final photos"... so I dressed up the next day so pose for the paparazzi! (I flatter myself)

The beginnings.....

Post bodice embroidery...The Finished Product!

The Final Picture (well as close as it is going to get!)
