It has been the first mild day for weeks, and i am already thinking of summer. And when the sun shines that means only one thing, a Shaheen inspired wrap dress and cocktails... that's two things... oh well they go hand in hand!
I have been making Shaheen inspired dresses for a few years. I blogged a bit about the
history of Alfred Shaheen a while ago
here. So if you are unsure what of what the hell i am on about, have a read.
I showed you my
first wrap dress i made back in
summer 2011. Have a look at the blog post for more dress details.
I then sourced some fabric made using
original prints designed by
Alfred Shaheen himself! Read more about the
dress here. I made this wrap dress that the lovely
Frankii Wilde is modeling at Americana fashion show last year.
There are still a few Alfred Shaheen prints available, but be quick only a limited amount were made.
Here are some recent Shaheen inspired dresses i have created.
Here are some examples of Hawaiian fabric i can get from my supplier in Hawaii.
If you are interested in having a custom Shaheen inspired dress, drop me an email at info@boobookittycouture.com

Looove them! The white birds on black print is my favourite! I've always wanted a Shaheen style playsuit in my wardrobe

ReplyDeleteI found a cotton candy pink linen hand printed Shaheen shirt dress in the Brick Lane Beyond Retro a couple of years ago for, would you believe, £3! I snatched it up and held onto it for dear life!! LOL!
