I've had this crazy dress; a combination of white tulle, snow-queen, poufy sleeves, huge bodice, corset ribing, the works, for quite a long time. (I was very into playing 'dress-up' when I was a kid, you know, releasing my inner Disney princess.) One day, while on the treadmill, it just came to me. "BAM! I should make that into something USEFUL." Here's what I came up with; a polka-dotted, scoop-neck mini dress...complete with lining make outta' old fabric napkins.
Recycling is fun. And it can look good too...:).
What other projects have we got going out there?
Chloe, this is adorable. I love your craftiness...so resourceful!
ReplyDelete:D THANKS! i never believed i could do ANYTHING with that dress....it's a monster, lemme' tell ya.
ReplyDeleteWell you totally pulled it off!
ReplyDeleteHa - THANKS! :)
ReplyDeleteFunny you should say, "pull it off", like that...because while I was making it, (you know, bent over the sewing machine, tons of pins, lots of binding tape), all I was worried about was; "Oh no. I really hope I can get this off after I've put it on..."
Being stuck in a dress in the locker room with no one to pull you out? Now THATS a scary thought! :D
