Duro dresses

Splash2_3

If you're a regular reader of A Dress A Day you'll know how obsessed writer Erin was about 'Duro' style dresses. Duro Olowu, the creator of said dresses is an ex-lawyer turned designer who used to make clothes for his ex-wife's boutique. Like Mr Sweet Cheeks himself Alber Elbaz, Olowu seems to have a real fondness for making women look good. As you can see the dress on the left is pretty spectacular, and has triggered a wave of imitations in the last year. Oasis are doing a really cute Duro style dress with the flattering midriff band for £45.

    Yeah tell me about it! Patience is definitely a virtue when sewing, but I always want things done in a day.

    Tack and press?!? My garments are lucky if they get pinned before sewing!

    I don't think it would be that difficult to make as there is not much tailoring. The bands might be a bit tricky, but remember, always tack and press before machine sewing and you can't go far wrong!

  • God bless Camden Market. Have been wearing my Duro-esque dress since May. Such a flattering shape.

  • FiFi

    I'm a Duro obsessive too! I can't afford a real one but have one from Oasis and one from New Look.

    I've also got a sewing pattern to make one but it looks difficult!
