A woman has revealed how she created her dream designer dupe dress out of a pair of £5 curtains from a charity shop.

Sophia Brown, 41, who is known as Velvet Jones online, spent hours cutting and stitching the fabric together, inspired by Teuta Matoshi dresses that can sell for thousands.

The London-based burlesque artist and costume designer, who is known as Velvet Jones online, posted a video revealing how she made her fabulous dress. 

Her video has since gone viral with over 250,000 views and thousands of users wanting their own version.  

Sophia wanted to show people that they don't need to spend a lot of money to make amazing clothes and posted a clip demonstrating how she turned charity shop curtains into a stunning bustier dress with tied straps. 

She spent hours cutting and stitching the fabric together after she was inspired by Teuta Matoshi dresses that can sell for thousands.

 Thank you Mags. x

My hair is now white, I stopped colouring it during lockdown and I have kept with it.

I still have the frock though, and come the warmer weather....I will be drawn into wearing it again. lol

 Floral frocks were de de rigueur in the 1980s.   Next made some lovely ones.

 I used to love Next clothing....not so much nowadays.

 

I just ordered a Joe Brown flowery summer frock, sadly, I look bloody awful in it, so it's going back. bored

 I wouldn't be seen dead in half their gear.  Dowdy fuddy duddy clothing that puts decades on you.   I don't know what's gone wrong with British fashion.

 Sadly, it didn't Mags. I looked too busty and too hippy, probably cos I am not a size 8/10 like the model. ragga

 

The material was lovely though.
