I have just acquired this dress (MN not letting me upload direct pic, sorry). It's made of Liberty Hera in wool, and the dark blue bits are velvet.
I thought I could get away with this for work (I love a vintage dress) but it's just too vintage - very full sleeves and very long skirt, and with the velvet bodice I look like I'm in fancy dress .
On the bright side, I have some beautiful Hera wool fabric for less than the price of one metre of it - IF I can think of the right restyle. I was thinking of maybe chopping the bodice off and turning it into a skirt, but any other ideas from craftier MNers?
