Me Made May 2015 Round Up
I look forward to Me Made May, I wear me made almost every day anyway, but Me Made May makes me take a fresh look at my wardrobe as a whole. I started off the month in recovery from surgery and was in pyjamas most days, and I’ve missed a few days here and there where I was either having a lazy pyjama day or I just didn’t feel like sharing a photo. One thing I have discovered this month is that since my gallbladder surgery I have lost 3 inches off my waist, which means I can fit into all of my spring/summer dresses from last year. This makes me very happy! (Although my new found post surgery love of food may jeapordise that new waist measurement!) Taking part in previous years I have tried to identify holes in my wardrobe, but this year I’ve been less bothered by that. I realise that actually I’m not that bothered about wearing some RTW clothing. There is a certain high street store that sells the perfect stretch t shirt for me, and another that sells the kind of fine knit cardigan I like, and of course despite my new found love of bra making and rediscovered love of lingerie sewing I still am a sucker for good quality lingerie, especially bras. Never underestimate what a good foundation can do for you, and especially for the look of outerwear. Why would anyone spend time and effort making a dress (or buying one), to put it on over shabby illfitting undies? And speaking of undies, these are my new favourite me made knickers. ...
