Description

Made this out of some heavy cotton curtain fabric I got from Abakhan Fabrics (UK) in their weigh bin, think it cost me about £5 and a New Look pattern.
I forgot to prewash the fabric though so I hope it doesnt shrink when I wash it. I wear it with an elastic belt just below the bust to give it a bit more shape.

    Love the fabric. Abakhan are great for good quality material cheap. I love their 50p bags and the roll ends.
