frances baker giveaway

Meet Josephine Baker, the mind behind Frances Baker, a small Australian label that creates the most wonderful dirndl-shaped dresses and crop top playsets. While many ladies can sew, few can do so with the amount of intricate detail that Josephine shows to each handmade piece.. vintage braid lining the skirt of a dark coffee corduroy dress, subtle pleats and pintucks on a skirt, fabric covered buttons and hand-stitched enclosures. All dresses are lined for a professional finish and are great for both winter and summer wear (wouldn't that corduroy dress be incredible for fall?).

Not to mention, Josie's personal style and blog are darling - rucksack picnics with friends, hand sewn dresses with matching hair bows, and glimpses of current sewing projects.

Fortunately for us, Josie is offering a giveaway for the month of October - a 200 AUD gift voucher for any item in her store. To enter, comment here and sign up for her Facebook and mailing list for shop updates. Enter by October 31!

And to make things even better, everyone gets a special 20% off discount in the Frances Baker shop for the month of October.. simply enter BLOOMINGLEOPOLD upon checkout. Ends October 31st.

So happy to welcome my autumn sponsors to the blog!
