Strange fashion inspirations

I watch a lot of television series' and films. If I were to list them all we would be here forever. I can sometimes get a bit obsessed. My favourite series' include Sherlock, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Call the Midwife, Merlin and Doctor Who. I also adore the Harry Potter books and films, Lord of the Rings and Studio Ghibli and Disney films. I get inspiration from all of these. I have a Spirited Away t-shirt and I'm always attempting to recreate Frozen hairstyles.

I desperately want to wear long dresses from different medieval fantasy eras (Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Merlin) as well as 50's circle skirts (Call the Midwife) and 20's dresses (Downton Abbey). I would love a Sherlock trench coat or a Hogwarts school uniform. Unfortunately I own none of these things.

I have this plan to sew a 50's dress and I found a lovely trench coat in Topshop but unfortunately funds and time have prevented me from fulfilling these wishes.




I would love long dresses to come back into fashion and not just beach maxi skirts as well as long cloaks. Unfortunately none of these things are very practical and it probably wouldn't work out but I can keep on dreaming.

I also have a lot of drawings and doodled inspired my films and series' but I am going to leave them for another post. 

I hope you enjoyed this different kind of post, it turned into a bit of a ramble. My plan was to post some photographs of clothes I have, inspired by the things I mentioned but my laptop is having issues uploading photos from my camera so maybe I will add them another time.

Thanks for reading

    1. Feel free to come over and borrow my sewing machine :P I have decided my mission is to sew a 50s circle dress, once I've gotten the material.
