Jazzed Maxi

This dress was a bargain at a clearance sale (three years ago), a nice viscose knit dress which should be my thing, but actually I've never felt it. So I've taken it to a local designer workshop (Ramonak Workshop) for a revamp, as I did with this one. The bleach tie&dye is totally my fault (a first attempt to jazz it up!), but she made this beautiful design which totally makes the difference. Totally in love with this statement piece which makes me feel more Me (and more Rock'n'Roll Ancient Egipt in acid).

Este vestido fue una ganga en una liquidación-outlet, hace tres años, un vestido de punto de viscosa, que suele ser totalmente mi estilo, pero resulta que no me acababa de hacer gracia. Así que al final lo he llevado al taller de una diseñadora local (Ramonak Workshop), igual que hice con este otro vestido. El desteñido tie&dye lo hice yo misma, en un primer intento de darle vidilla, pero el trabajo de dibujo es lo que marca la diferencia. Estoy encantada con lo bien que ha quedado, porque es más Yo Misma (y mucho más Rock'n'Roll Antiguo Egipto Psicodélico, que es estupendísimo).

  1. That jazzed up maxi is amazing! Your local designer is a genius, as it's hard to believe it's the same dress. This is much more you too, and I'm sure it'll feature on your blog for many years to come! Have a great week, Monica, and do stay safe and fabulous. Besos xxx

  4. Oh, I LOVE the tie-dye and the new Egyptian eye! It looks fantastic! This is similar to what I'm doing with the leather pieces I have and am not feeling. Hooray for rock & roll Egypt on acid! Ha!

    1. You're right, dear Beate, this dress needed something more, as the top is very detailed and the skirt was blah!. Lovely that you like it!

  7. What a fantastic maxi skirt. The tie- dye on it looks amazing and I love the Egyptian eye. The orange bolero is a great pairing with it as well. You look great in this!

  8. The dress is definitely much more "You" now that it has been jazzed up. The tie-dye and egyptian eye are so cool!
