I was poor back then too

Post: # 111143Post mrsflibble »

May 2002, after buying my ticket to the uni summer ball I had no cash for an outfit. I wore a dress I'd had for a few years (which I'd taken up and modified the straps on to be more comfortable for larger boobies) and decided to make my wrap.
I got a set of Salwar Kameez fabric from southall, 3 pieces in all. one plain, one patterned and one sheer.
I sewed the plain and patterned bits together to make my wrap, and found I even had enough fabric left over to make my bag. I was so proud of myself as it was the first thing I'd ever made from scratch hahaha!!!
it kept me warm at 6am after a night of partying too.

nah you can't. not well enough to see who it is. and thankfully the suit was arental from mossbros so tha's not individual either. you should have seen it on the first pixelation filter I shoved on it; so small it was pointless!!
