Mum-made Floral Print Dress with Puffed Sleeves
Hi ladies! I am back with the other dress my mum stiched for me ☺ this time it is a vibrant floral print dress with puffed sleeves. I remember wearing puffed sleeved dresses throughout my childhood. I stopped wearing those since they made my arms look fatter :-/ but now, I seriously don’t care! The dress has taken me back to my childhood ☺
Mum had at first stitched an A-line dress with a broader base and then she added some pleats on both the sides. She finished it with a belt which she made out of a green fabric.
Since the print is very bold I just wore my favourite green studs on ear ( got them at only Rs.5 at a fair!) and wrapped a purple neckpiece on my wrist as a bracelet( also from fair at Rs 40). Since this is totally a “bachpan wala” look, I skipped wearing heels and opted for jute flats instead. You get these shoes for about Rs.150 at jute expos or fairs. The sling bag you see here is also bought from a fair for 50 bucks 😛 I should become brand ambassador of fairs 😉 hihi
Makeup as usual was light. Just some peachy blush and lipstick.
Hope you enjoy the pics ☺ am sorry for looking all drained in the pics today, these were taken after long classes and 15 mins of cycling in the sun ☹
Dress: mum made
Shoes: jute exposition
Sling bag: fair
Earrings and neckpiece(worn as bracelet) : also from fair
Make up details: tips and toes dual blush ( autumn), Elle 18 colorpop lipstick #43 pretty peach

This OOTD has a message of love. This dress is worth million dollars because its infused with a mother’s emotion and love. So sweet of her… i need to speak to my mom abt this..Grrrrr :/
Another message is, you just dont need high end brands to complete a look, all the little things and the charm to doll up makes a woman look worthwhile.
Lots love n hugs Appy!!
awwww, ur words made me smile mamta.. hugs! <3 🙂
Looking cho pretty aps :* Dresses suit you so well, start wearing them all over again 😀

Your dress looks so amazingly cute..the dreamy 4th pic is my fav 😀 Loved how the print of your dress and purse blends with each other..the simple makeup makes you look even more flawless. You definitely should wear more dresses miss brand ambassador of fair :))

Is that Benaras Hundu University’s Hostel?
nope 🙂 it’s Visva Bharati univ hostel 🙂
nope 🙂
Hi,,, The print of the dress is just lovely!!! Is that photo clicked at on of the hostels at Shantiniketan? I visit there once every two years or so and also have had lovely childhood memories roaming around the entire campus in the summers. My maternal uncle used to teach at Patha Bhawan and has a home pretty close to the campus….

You look so pretty, Aparajita! <3 I really like the print of this dress. Oh, and that piccy of your earring is simply gorgeous; it's like you can see the whole world reflected in it or something 🙂
My sister is my personal designer – she stitches clothes for me from scratch as well, but so far it's been one summer dress and a good number of shorts 😀 I don't really wear dresses, so I love the shorts 😀 😀
It's an amazing feeling to wear clothes stitched by someone personally for you, isn't it? Btw, tell your Mom I think she is super cool and a wonderful designer. <3
