Claire is away this week!
Covadonga is wearing a black rose with a feather [origin unknown] and a black crocheted dress with sequins [charity shop].
This dress is pretty theatrical and Gothic, and quite daring!
It's all black, with a few sequins sewn in to the flowery pattern. It's a dramatic floral spiderweb! The issue with crochet, and a spider's web, though are the holes, it requires some serious underwear or a slip worn underneath it to be fancy-event ready. I mean, any event really, especially in winter when it would be cold! For an item with so many gaps, it's surprisingly weighty; it's nice though to be able to feel the weight of the fabric, like you're actually wearing something, moving within it, the same with jewelry, you know it's there. The cord/lace stuff it's made out of is strong but hanging it off a hanger, one can see the strain. I only hope it doesn't fall apart form the shoulders when debuted out of doors. And if it does I have a slip underneath...
Who knew crochet could be so sexy!?
