Finally I've had the chance to make something for myself! We just had our work Christmas party, which was lawn bowls with a 70's theme and after 'umm'ing and 'ahh'ing for a few days I came across this fantastic chocolate coloured sun hat which I thought would look great with the Duro dress, so what better excuse to put this together! I rummaged through my old sheet and duvet stash and found this fantastic retro floral pattern and a chocolate brown duvet which matched nicely.
Other than the contrast at the neck and back waist line being a little dodgy (the result of sewing this on the same night as decorating the house, baking ridiculous amounts of cup cakes for the party, making a t-shirt for secret santa and in general not cutting the notches or even bothering to follow the pattern) I was extremely happy with the outcome and I got so many compliments on it the next day when I wore it.
Some time in the next couple of weeks I plan to pick it apart a little and fix the bits I didn't quite do right, until then I'll consider it a wearable muslin :)
