Etsy Love: Crochet Days


Hello everyone!
Hope you are all doing well. I am super busy at work at the moment, so I haven't had a lot of time for blogging, but I wanted to update real quick with a new instalment in the Etsy Love series.

I adore Etsy. I think the idea of Etsy is brilliant and I am constantly finding new shops that are amazing! Today however, I wanted to introduce you to a favourite shop of mine, that I have known of for almost exactly a year - Windram Design.


Dress: ModCloth (here)
Collar: Windram Design (similar here)
Tights: Primark

Those of you who have been with the blog since the start will perhaps remember that Helen Windram of Windram Design was the first person I collaborated with on this blog, here. I wore a limited edition rust coloured and twirl-worthy handmade dress by Helen then.


And the talent of the creator of Windram Design doesn't stop at sewing. When I saw this crocheted collar I just knew I had to have it, because it can make a dress look completely different.
Which it did.

I added the crocheted collar to a trusty comfy black dress from ModCloth, and voilĂ  - it's like a new dress! And adding it to black gives it a particularly lovely Wednesday Addams vibe!


This post is not sponsored like the rest of my Etsy Love posts. I just wanted to show you my cute crocheted collar.

Hope you are all having a lovely weekend!
Much love,

  4. I just love how each etsy designer creates such beautiful and unique pieces based on their own imagination. Love how you've paired this, I mentioned on IG too how much your outfit resembles my father's 70's school uniform (yes, little boys also wore preppy school pinafores back then).

    1. Yes! I think it's quite amazing the things that they create!!
      Oh wow, you said school uniform, but you never said it was your father's!! Haha, I can't even imagine boys in little school pinafores, but I'm sure they looked adorable!!

  5. As I told you on Instagram, I love Etsy love posts. They just give me ideas of shops to browse when I want gift ideas (I think Etsy is great for gifts as there are unique and thoughtful items that would make anybody happy!). This crochet collar is super cute, I love how adds that little something to the dress!

  9. Etsy is the best! I love your Etsy Love posts, because no matter how often I browse Etsy, there's always a new, wonderful store to be found! The idea of a crocheted collar is fantastic! It can completely change the entire look of a top or dress. I will definitely have to check out Windram Design. :)
