Dress for Lu

As I posted weeks ago, I made something for my dear friend Lu. I made her a dress from her favorite fabric, I also have this one, but in another way ;) Maybe you remember… I also had a shooting with it with another friend who is also called Lou ;) Lu made a beautiful post about it on her blog, thank you honey for this great post!!! The photos are gorgeous!!! She made a perfect outfit in my opinion! She wore the red roses dress with a green cardigan, red tights, white shoes and a green bag! You have to see it!

Here you go for Lu’s post about it:

And following photos she (or more her boyfriend) shot. I just love the setting and the light and everything!!!

Shoting: Roses Have Thorns They Say

But not these… (As I promised, a giveaway is waiting here for you! More to that, see below)

Maybe you remember, one of my goals for this year was sewing a dress for myself. In fact I sew 3 new dresses for me and I altered 2, one was given by a friend of me and I bought 2, one of those in New York so I could wear 8 new dresses :) This is pretty much and if I calculate I would come to the amount of  39 euro plus the material costs I had for the fabrics. And once again if I divide this through 8 dresses I come to 4,88 euro which is really cheap for so many clothes… I love buying 2nd- hand for it is good for the environment and of course I love sewing new things, if I just had more time for that :D

So enough for calculating…

Here is the schedule I had last sunday at the shoting:

11.50 am: rearanging my room

12.00 pm: hanging up the fabric

12.25 pm: picking up tripods, lamps and diffusor

12.35 pm: arranging them

2.08 pm: already finish with setting the set

2.13 pm: almost blinded by the flash :D

2.15 pm: lunch break

And here is the giveaway clue:

It’s about the last picture. There you can see the album of Skagen “Sorry, Sun” which was released in 2006, so some years ago already. Skagen is a mostly german band, the singer is from denmark (or one parent comes from denmark, I don’t remember exactly). I’ve got this 11-track CD since years and listen to it constantly but I have a *NEW* one for you. I have seen the band several times but unfortunately they don’t give shows anymore. They play wonderful acoustic music with a great extraordinary singer and this is the reason why I want to give it to you :)

All you have to do to get this giveaway: write down a comment.

Deadline for this giveaway is in two weeks, sunday 18th of december, 8 pm GMT+1

Good luck!
