I shared these pictures yesterday on my stories, but I reckon they deserve a spot on the grid - not least because I actually managed to photograph something I made for the first time in forever! Thank you all so much for the outpouring of love and congratulations on our news 🩷 we’re so happy and excited for our little rainbow baby 🌈 coming Pisces season 2024! Leap year baby?! To anyone who would rather not see posts like this in their feed, I totally understand and promise I won’t be offended if you need to unfollow for a while ♥️ sending you all my love. The dress! The dress is the Side-Tie Overall Dress which is a self-draft project from my new book Made To Measure (coming next month!), made for the @newcrafthouse prom party in the most beautiful silk & cotton cloqué (also from NCH), and lined in a baby pink silk charmeuse that was a gift from my cousin Novella 🩷 I wanted to make something that would fit and feel great now with my expanding belly and boobs, but that I would also love and wear beyond my baby body. The side seam ties make this dress effortlessly adjustable, and the high waistline + frothy gathered tiers make for a dress that is as comfy as it is fabulous - which is always my goal! As it’s still Barbie season as far as I’m concerned, I wore this bubblegum frock with my pink @terrydehavilland platforms, sheer socks from @tabio.jp and a vintage @anyahindmarch kitten bag I found charity shopping with my pal @nerrisapratt for a fiver 👌 #MadeToMeasureBook #selfdrafted #draftityourself #iwroteabook #newcrafthousefabric #newcrafthouseparty #maternitysewing #rainbowbaby #diyootd #imademyclothes #sewistsofinstagram #byhandlondon #bhldiy
