Knit Your Own ..... Wedding Dress!
Seriously!
This magazine was one of the more "modern" items
in Pandora's Breadbin!
Love, Liz
I found the pattern for this dress in a copy of the magazine
Womancraft of March 1980. I had to
double check the date - really, a hand knitted wedding dress in 1980? Still, I suppose it would come in handy later - you could always rip it out
and knit baby things in due course! (Can
you tell I'm a Scot?)
Here's some of the detail.
Anyone want the pattern? Do you
know anyone who wore a knitted wedding dress?
From the same magazine is this recipe for Cheesy Onions -
doesn't it sound revolting. Surely one
for Kylie's next retro cook-off!
This has more of an 80s vibe!

hat recipe reminds me a little of the local food here - everything is cheese, potatoes and onions, melted, fondued, you name it. It's yummy but you get sick of it. I wonder how the French stay so slim with a diet like that?
I'm kinda grooving on that 80s coat, btw, though the hat's a little weird. :)
Hmm, not sure about that wedding dress - I suppose she thought it a good idea at the time! Having said that, I'm sure some super slim gorgeous girl would look wonderful in a modern version!
Good old 80s shoulder pads! I still have suits and smart coats from that decade with wide shoulders, it being my first working one!
Have a good evening Liz

Knitted wedding dress...hmmmm, perhaps not.
Have a fab day,

Not much of the 80's about it as far as I can see...
Those cheesey onions don't sound too bad to me Liz.
Today I received a comment from an American follower who didn't know what Haggis was! I was quite surprised actually.
changed....only wish I still had it to cherish...
