Style Sunday: Denim Dungarees

I think that dungarees are one of those garments that you either love or you loath.

I love them. Yes, I will concede that they might not always be the most flattering of garments, but they are one of my all time favourites! Every time they swing back into mainstream fashion and start popping up in High Street stores, my heart gives a little jump for joy.

These Native Rose Tapestry Denim Dungarees, £75, Urban Outfitters are just lush – I adore that laid back sumer styling, that makes me long for lazy days in the sun and balmy evenings! Getting the right fit for your body shape is one of the most important things to consider when getting a pair of dungarees, I mean you want to be stepping out looking stylish, rather than like a sack of spuds! This got me to thinking…Why not sew them myself? I mean this is the very best way to get a bespoke – and flattering fit – so, if like me you love this quirky garment you’ll love this Style Sunday: Denim Dungarees moodboard!
