Stripped down to the bare essentials

This dress was sat in my chest of drawers not doing much.

I really like the print, it reminds me, a little bit, of Tetris or some other 80s computer game. 

The top part fits really well, but the skirt accentuated my waistline (not in a good way) and it always felt a bit too short. 

Being self-employed and eco-conscious, I've been trying to repair and upcycle my clothes where possible. 

There was plenty of fabric in the skirt for me to make some new pants!

So here's my morning in photos>
