Jovovich-Hawk Yasmine Dress
Ah, I’ve found a new love. I saw this dress on Basic Boutique, but unfortunately, it’s not in in my size! So, when I get home (in two months, I’m so excited!) I’m going to try and recreate it. Pretty gathering like this is insanely hard, so that will be a big challenge. And… bishop sleeves. But my mum is pretty handy with the machine, so maybe she’ll be of some help. :) But the gathering on this dress is beyond perfect. I wish I knew some place that I could try it on!
I have one Jovovich-Hawk dress, but it’s a party dress. This one looks nice enough to wear to work, right? And it’s deep purple and that is my colour. I wish I could skip the hassle, but I hate buying clothes online. I just found it at Net-A-Porter but I don’t understand the sizing; according to this site, I’m a size 10 for this dress? But I am really a 4.
But whatever, I’d totally prefer this in a silk jersey rather than the viscose/wool blend it comes in.
Ooh, that dress is stunning!! I’m so impressed that you are going to try to sew it!! I wish I had more than basic sewing skills. And I agree with you, that colour is stunning! Can’t wait to see the work in progress.

I think this would look gorgeous on you~ And it TOTALLY seems like something you’d wear.
I agree, it’s certainly a multi-occasion dress. Good for work, shopping, dinner…

Catherine- Yes! I am a big fan of the multi-occasion wear, where you can just change shoes and make-up and have a whole different vibe. :)
Julie- I’m still a beginner in sewing myself, but my mum is a genius, so hopefully together we can work something out. :)
