I went shopping with a good friend yesterday in Oxford (where the shops are much more interesting than near me) and saw this beautiful dress in Jigsaw. It’s not a very clear picture but it’s a cardigan and dress combined and the dress bit is the most beautiful crisp striped cotton.
It’s a schoolgirl type of look (and it’s a very long time since I was at school). But I really liked it even though I know I wouldn’t look quite like this in it.
Needless to say the £150 plus price tag made it a bit of a no-go so I am now thinking about how I can make my own version of it. A tailored man’s shirt and a nice thrifted cardie spring to mind. I’ll let you know more soon.





Really, this is elegant. i think one can by sew.
