    I love the pink makeup! If you're unsure, and need to ground it more, try blending a brown on the lower lashline and wrap it around to the outer corner. That Billie Jumper is fabulous!

    With the white fabric, using a nude bra works best! No white is the same so Nude is the way to go!
    Best advice given by my Nana 😂

    Make up a definite hit with that gorgeous Billie dress. Looks like you had an amazing time and your purchases are fabulous 😍😍😍😍. You made me laugh when you referred to the silver fabric as being “going outy” 😂😂. Haven’t heard that expression in years but it brought back warm memories for me. Please don’t be offended but a plain neutral bra under the white strawberry fabric will, in my humble opinion, work better than white- well it works for me anyway. Happy sewing. 😊 Lynne

    I love your fabric choices so much! There is a new Vogue pattern V2000 that is a Diane Von Furstenberg wrap dress and I think that style would look amazing in the multi colored smooth knit fabric or the silver animal print. Tiana’s closet has a similar free pattern if you want to give that a try. Whatever you choose will be amazing. 💖

    Looking good, not too much at all. I adore that sweatshirt, fabulous, as is your fabric haul. The fabric you picked from G&G is simply gorgeous and I can't wait to see you wearing whatever you decide to make with it. I'd need to take out a bank loan if I visited G&G. It's unlikely that I will ever go :-( as it's so far from where I live on the East coast. Just off to check out your strawberry earrings

    • @whatbecsews

    Coat is GORGEOUS.
    I made a vintage dress once. And I phoned a friend (mum) and it was from a Burda book and there were NO diagrams… we both sat there scratching our heads. This was about 10 years ago.
    I did it in the end my way. Or the ‘normal’ way!!
    I am dyslexic and I read it aloud and touch it… or get someone else to read it while I touch it. It works that way.
    Thanks ❤

    I really like your make up!! I finished the southbank. I now understand why you have multiple of them. High five on staying in budget. I went to the fabric store today, and nothing called to me. I walked out with some elastic for some leggings, and I felt broken. For the zadie jumpsuit are the pant legs really wide leg, the pattern looks like that. I'm not keen on wide leg pants. I feel like a giant rectangle in them. I keep seeing you make it and keep going to the website and then chickening out.

    • @whatbecsews
      @whatbecsews  10 місяців тому +1
