This summer I made 2 Style Arc Montana Midi dresses & was delighted with both.
I was wearing one of them & a friend asked me "Is that Boden"?
and one day wearing the other someone stopped me in the street to tell me how much she liked my dress & where did I buy it?
These 2 comments really delighted me.
But if my friend, who knows I sew, had not asked if it was Boden but asked if I had made it, I wouldn't have felt so pleased. I would have wondered why she asked, what is wrong with the dress, etc.
So although I enjoy making my self sewn clothes, I cannot get over feeling self conscious.
