You don't need a whole host of draping, cutting and sewing skills to produce an elegant Makie Couture look; this design took all of five minutes to put together (and three of those were spent digging out the fabric).

| Yes, we probably could have found a more classy posing location. |
This slightly bustled strapless evening gown features achingly trendy unfinished edges, classic lines and is quite literally a rectangle of jersey fabric, twisted at the back and held in place by two dressmaking pins. Not a single stitch was sewn.

| Black and White makes everything look like a Vogue shoot. |
This photo shoot definitely illustrates that I've been around too many weddings this weekend.
 |
| Oh, what? At least I'm not asking you to do all the cheesy poses. |
Although it did mean I got to snaffle the plastic diamond-topped pins from the corsages, which are perfect for Makie up-dos. Similar to constructing the dress, I've found I get a really good hold on the wig just by twizzling the hair and pinning in place. If only mine were so well-behaved.

| And twist and pin and done. |
So there you have it. Classyness and poise, all with a bit of fabric the size of a hanky and a couple of pins. Worth a go, yes?
