Dress Of The Day with Angela

  Batik, scoop neck, flutter sleeve, batwing sleeve. Useful Websites You can find some vintage Elok kaftans on ebay. Not cheap. Asking prices about 30 dollars for second hand clothes but some sellers say,  Best offer. You can also search in the left hand column for sellers who accept best offers. When doing the search by the brand name, add search category : clothes. I kept searching on the ebay website and dropped the brand name. I just used the search words kaftan and batik. I 'selected lowest price and shipping' in the box top right of the screen.  Then I hunted down the categories on the left column. I found under 35 US dollars, and free shipping!

Turn the dress inside out and you can see the ribbon is held in place by a band of the same dress fabric, about the width of a ruler. An edged slit in the centre front of the dress allows the two ends...

  Dress 160: Apple green silk sleeveless tunic by brand collection Komunseide (vintage - they have ceased trading);  you can buy their clothes on Ebay. The word Seide is German for silk. Nouns in German have capital letters. Red silk button up blouse with two breast pockets, by KJ Classics.  Asymmetrical pinky red flower skirt by Topshop, with side zip, polyester outer and stretchy miniskirt lining. Worn with accessories: hair slide with large green flowers, four pleated fabrics in green in dark and mid-tone. Green sequin clip-on ear-ring.  DIY Hints For Home Made Clothes The asymmetrical hem is a great idea if you are short of fabric. The wavy edge to the piece which goes up looks good. With a see-through fabric it is better to have an attached underskirt.
