My expedition to their website today did not result in any pin number punching activity, but it did introduce me to this:

| The Selina Dress |
The normal procedure everytime I visit the LK Bennet website usually goes something like this
- Dibs visits http://www.lkbennet.com/
- Dibs gets excited by beautiful dresses
- Dibs checks prices after having fallen in love with dresses
- Dibs's eyes threaten to fall out of sockets ( trust me this happens all the time, even though i know how expensive they normally are)
- Dibs quietly logs off
- Dibs sits in the darkness for 30 minutes, pondering at life's unfairness, and her lack of a bank account to rival Paris Hilton's.
- Dibs resolves to play the lottery (again).
- Dibs goes searching for Dulche de Leche hagen daaz ice cream.
But not this time LK Bennet. Because this time, Dibs found a friend in Burda magazine May 2011. And that friend gave her this
Not quite the same but it will do. The only difference, from what I can see, is that the Burda dress does not have front in-seam pockets like the LK Bennet dress. But thats all right. I don't mind, because for once, I will make something for myself that is similar to an LK Bennet dress, and no, I will not spend £195 to make. Thank you very much.
This takes priority over any project I was going to shop for on saturday at the Goldhawk Road Fabric Fandango. Except of course stuff I have to make for Me Made June. Oh, the thought of actually making this dress. I wonder what fabric I would make it in. The LK Bennet version was made with silk shantung. I am not that crazy. Not yet anyways, when I have no experience dealing with such experience fabric. Hmm.....
What do you reckon?
