Description
This is going to be my new favourite dress this festive season. Bought this shiny red lame/cotton in the U.S. of A and it wouldn’t stop screaming at me (yes, cotton talks to me and tells me to do things) until I sewed it up.
The minute I saw this fabric I couldn’t stop thinking of roses, and after thinking about it extensively while honeymooning in Hawaii, I came back to Australia with a creation fully formed in my mind.
I LOVE how the sleeves turned out, and I can feel another dress version coming on soon.
Interested in making these sleeves your self? Keep on eye on my blog in a few weeks I’ll be posting a tutorial showing you how I created the rose effect. Guess what, it involves no hand sewing. Crazy but true.

Hi! It’s me again! I just wanted to tell you, maybe you’ve seen it already, in the movie “it’s about time” (coming out right now in France), the girl wears a red dress with sleeves just like yours!! Interesting, isn’t it ?!

I like those sleeves, and they look nice on you. My mother made a lot of dresses with those sleeves in the early seventies, and I’ve used this fun technique also for purses.
