Soul mates

Some weekends ago, we had my hubby’s big 30 retro party. Theme: Soul. That was because disco would have been too easy 😉

My husband asked me to make him a pair of flared retro trousers. Since I had made him trousers before, I just took the old pattern that I already had and flared it.

Of course, I wanted to match his costume, so I made a dress for myself as well. Unfortunately, I only had 4 days to do so, so I got a bit stressed. I wanted to make something that looked like it once belonged to The Supremes. In the end, I came up with this:

Not as glamourous as I wanted it to be, but at least we matched!

The party was great, by the way. Too bad I forgot to take a picture of our matching costumes 🙁 Luckily, Arlette is always ready to show off some clothes.
