Bright and sunny.

Oh, winter. I catch the train to work and everyone is so dreary in their blacks and greys. I'm going to try bring a little sunshine to people's lives by dressing up in bright summer colours.  This will be my first real winter for five years, let's see how I can survive :-/

These photos were taken when the weather in Melbourne was slightly better than it is now... 

Dress designed and created by Franki.  Photography by Franki.

Eyelashes by Primark (with surprisingly NO infection considering how cheap they were).

Made in Satwa.

For a few years, my sister and I have been going to a tailor off Satwa Road. We picked him at random, just to get some alterations and zips fixed. Every time we went in, he'd be measuring up people for dresses. And he was constantly busy. I thought I'd take this as a good sign that he was a pretty decent dressmaker, also taking into consideration that his customers were of many nationalities.

I found some black cotton and grey cotton fabric from one of the fabric stores called Srour and brought it over to my man and asked him to make me two dresses for work. I came back one week later and have to admit he did a pretty amazing job.

 Photos (and post-production werk lol) thanks to FrankiV.
I'll get better photos of the dress soon!!
