sustainable
Today the buzz word is sustainable everything has to be sustainable and not just one use and throw away,
Not a bad concept considering how much we throw away that doesn't degrade anytime soon. Its not a new idea by any means but upcycling was left to the happy clappy folk of the world or the poor.
Now it is getting fashionable once again not least because what we are doing to the environment but also due the covid thing some people don't have the income they once had so make do and mend has been revamped for a modern age, and those who have got money can't go out to spend it at the moment neither do they have anywhere to wear what they do buy.
A large number of people have also taken up sewing during the lockdown to keep themselves occupied, This brings us to my little part in saving the world,
As you know i now get most of my clothes from charity shops giving a new lease of life to no longer loved items and helping a charity to boot. I am also handy with a needle and thread and have taken in a number of my partners old dresses such as this one above.
When a dress is so big it can't really be modified i tend to then make a skirt out them.
This is todays look and the shoes are painfully practical but in keeping with the period, so much easier doing the house work wearing these, Yes Cindy I did house work today
