More Orange Bags

What does every orange plastic bag dress need? An orange plastic corsage of course!


Despite plans for sleeves and other additions, in the end the dress looked best with just a few simple additions - some straps to keep it up and a corsage. It is now packed up and labelled ready for delivery tomorrow. Some of the dresses will be on display in "The Shop", Jesus Lane, Cambridge over the next few weeks in order to promote the Cambridge University Fashion Show which will be taking place on 19th June at the Cambridge Corn Exchange.

Now I know some of you were expecting to see me model this very fetching garment... and much as I hate to disappoint... it ain't gonna happen! However my friend's 13 year old daughter Sophie, who is very tall, very thin and very beautiful is going to be my model at the fashion show. So there will be pictures of her modelling after 19th June. She tried it on this week and looked stunning but my camera battery was flat - so you'll have to wait!

    My tall, thin and beautiful daughter also thinks it looks lovely. And I can vouch for how marvellous it is in real life! Wish I could come to the show ...

    This is stunning - and I see no reason why you shouldn't be the one to model it :)
    Any intention of going upmarket and maybe using Harrods bags next time? *LOL*
