Of course, I must include the first official commission on a vintage dress. Catherine bought her charity shop find to me to add a touch of Gothic to.

AND finally…

Here is an early one, but still one of my favourites. 1970s with a lot of damage that I was able to bring up to date. I particularly like the fact that you can see that, with a few tweaks, a gown (and model, the lovely Sophie in the first 2 images) can be both Boho and Gothic.

1970s vintage gown with damage to sleeves and an unflattering neckline.

And again with a green ombre hem…( phone photo by me)
and again with extra colours added, and a belt and an ombre veil.

So, I’ll love you and leave you for another week. Don’t forget to stay safe and ALERT! 😜

Watch this space for next weeks lockdown creation. My challenge is to find a way to colour non-sheer synthetics successfully… Wish me luck!

Love from Bex and the team xx
