Description

loved the pattern for this and had a wedding coming up. found the pattern really hard to understand I have to say, took me bloody ages to make. The bust didn’t sit right so I turned down the flaps (inspired by http://images2.fanpop.com/images/quiz/255000/255935_1247506352155_500_281.jpg) also made an obi belt (pattern here http://wkdesigner.wordpress.com/2007/09/07/beret-belt-part-1/) to make it a little tidier and cover up some messy sewing!
