Dressing Gowns

So this is another inspiration post, this time I'm inspired by dressing gowns! I was looking through the Rigby and Peller website and DH said this caught his eye - hmm. Surely I could do something like that?

Thinking about lingerie and dressing gowns reminded me of something (or should that be someone) I discovered recently. I came across this gorgeous, feminine little dress desgined in the 1920s by a designer called Lucille Duff Gordon. Lucille made some really gorgeous stuff AND she was the one who made it acceptable for the average woman to wear something nice in the privacy of her own bedroom - before lucille, lingerie was for actresses and mistresses, not happily married women.
I was pretty excited to hear that the Lucille design house had been reestablished by one of her descendants and that they were going to design lines inspired by some of lucille's original clients. Maybe there'd be something there I'd like...

Yes! This dressing gown is gorgeous! Again, its super floaty and feminine, and so luxurious! Now, I don't have £715 to spend on a dressing gown, but I do have a stash of fabric, surely I can come up with something nice?
I'll show you what I came up with next time.
