yes, it was my 40th birthday this gone sunday (June 26th 2022) and let's just say being 40 has mostly been low key a bad stressful time (most of the good stuff was just before, but I did get to get in the sea on my birthday because I got stranded in margate on saturday, but that's s different story) but hoping things pick up asap. we're having a birthday BBQ this weekend (cos i was busy last weekend) and i'll finally get my presents 🥳
i made the dress from a thrifted unicorn pegasus cat double duvet cover (still got the 'plain' side for another dress!) using @seamwork 's mina pattern as the base (i altered / puffed up the sleeves and made them longer + skipped the waistline fold detail and shortened the bodice a little bit) in a day and a bit (cut the fabric wednesday, sewed everything but the hem on thursday)
