Cheap, Warm Dresses

The weather is getting cooler and I love it.
These are some of my winter dresses!

The first one I made, the fabric was with new which cost about $20, the deer and birds are from some Disney curtains I got from the op shop ages ago.
I followed the "Too Cute Tunic Dress" pattern by Pip Lincoln in Sow La Tea Doe.
The pattern was easy to follow and pretty quick, the longest part was sewing on Bambi's mum and the birds, and I did that prety dodgily.

 Hand made dress from new fabric and Disney curtains, Hat $4 from Salvation Army

 

The dress above was from the salvos $3.50 (got it half price!). I think its an Indian dance costume, I had to sew up the sides and shortened the sleeves. The jacket/cardigan was second hand from somewhere, and green scarf Salvos $1 bargain bin.

I haven't worn this dress yet, It was $15 from a church op shop. I didn't get very good photos of this. It pretty bright and the synthetic fabric could get pretty sweaty, not sure how I feel about it yet?

It's either a favorite or it's going to relax on a coathanger for a long time.

These photos were taken by Anna, who despite my shitness at being photogenic managed to get some good shots. ThankS!
