It's quite similar to my DIY overalls from a few posts back, except that the top part extends right up to my collar, and I added bows to either side of the shorts. I was inspired by this pinafore dress from Dahlia, which I pinned on Pinterest a few days ago (and if you follow my pinterest you'll always know what I'm going to be making really soon, haha).
While I was making them, my mum popped in and said "you know, I think this was the fabric for our school uniforms when I was younger..."
Great, haha. I also went to the same high school as my mum so.. that's fun. I must be having bizzare sadistic cravings to relive my high school days (although, the uniform had changed a bit from my mum's time. But the skirts were pretty much the same fabric as this, looking back on it...)

love the romper! it's a bit short in the back, but it's SO adorable :)
ReplyDeleteOh, My
Haha, yeah I kind of did make it a bit too butt-showing (accident, i swear!) I'll always wear it with tights though, so it doesn't matter.
DeleteGorgeous! You did a great job :) That romper is so cute! xo

This outfit is perfect, you are perfect gah, can you please fix my wardrobe!!
ReplyDeleteI just have to tell you....I stumbled on to your blog....... I'm a guy from America who is touring Europe this fall.
ReplyDelete12 years ballet, and I adore fashion.....
and....my mom taught me to sew when I was 12, so believe it or not, I have sewn a romper myself.
Yours is sooooo lovely...I love the material, I love the bows......
And I love it with the tights.......... I adore being in Europe this fall with so many people wearing the shorts with tights look...and the romper is even better......
To be honest, I'm actually wearing the shorts with tights myself.... I have long hair, almost as long as your gorgeous hair..... so I guess I confuse people, but I don't care.
I will faithfully follow your wonderful blog, I promise.
I'd love to get your pattern............ and I intend to go back to your previous blog entries.....
ReplyDeleteyou've really got a super creative talent here...and a wonderful eye for just the right look and color
Please keep it up.......
wow i love your blog, you are really inspiration! im gona look whole blog!
ReplyDeleteI love the bow detail at the sides. Thats what makes it something unique
ReplyDeleteI think the rompers are cute. I'll try making one though i'll turn it into a skirt instead of shorts because I'm a bit lazy at sewing, lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting this great idea. Keep rocking girl!
