The Neanderthal Dress.





Sometimes it can happen women like to dress like cavemen,
and men like to adorn themselves like birds :)
This is the dress i mentioned some posts ago; it took me more
than a month instead of four hours to make this one, but it's
very simple; i can imagine a Neanderthal woman would like to wear this
no nonsense style on a weekday, the fabric is from felted jersey
wool, no zipper, only pull over your head, and there you are!!



Made another scarf.

The b&w photo is from 'Elliott Erwitt's New York'

  2. That's my kind of dress! It sound divine - the wool, the colour, the pull on - it's perfect! I'd possibly even wear it over jeans in winter. How daggy of me. I love your scarf too. Beautiful tones - as always. :)

  5. It is perfect. I like this kind of dress because one can still do something with it. Tie it at different places, cut it, embroider it.
    It is true that it resembles this Neanderthal dress:

  7. LOVE that photo!!! I think men should wear feathers more often! ;)

    I have a navy dress just like that from Muji and I call it "The Perfect Dress" :) It's so fabulous for all the reasons you mentioned... unfortunately, it's too hot here at the moment for my perfect dress... can't wait for winter!

    Your scarf is looking gorgeous - I love it!
