I was thinking it was about time I did another 6-way remix of one of my garments; I had fun doing the previous one on my favourite skirt here and it helps me to appreciate the versatility of what I have in my own wardrobe myself. Shopping in my own wardrobe!! I mentioned recently that I would do one on my olive corduroy skirt, but that would just be another skirt same as the last 6-way so decided to do a dress instead. Olive skirt next time. Maybe I’ll try to do one of these each month…
I made this Burda 8071, view A sundress last summer out of cream broderie anglaise cheesecloth and don’t wear it enough. I think it deserves more outings. So here I’ve styled it 6 ways; as a plain dress, as a tunic over jeans, as a pinafore, over tights, as a dress over a petticoat and over a longer skirt. As in the last 6-way, 3 ways are for summer; casual, semi-casual and a little more formal, and likewise for winter. Although seriously when I was photographing these winter looks I thought I might die from heat exhaustion, 34C+ and only the slightest breeze! Man! Suffering for my blog…
So here is the dress styled for casual wear, both summer and winter;
Dress, 6 different ways
Styled a little smarter for shopping or running errands, summer or winter;
And a tad more formal, for lunches, functions or going into the city with friends (yeah, summer and winter);


























Great use of one dress. There is no need to have so many clothes with this approach! Mum
