I’ve been shopping for a dress. A mother-of-the-bride dress. I don’t have forever. I found one online at the black and white store, but I don’t really think I should have to pay $160. So, what I am working on today: cutting off this long, gunmetal gray skirt (purchased NWT at thrift years ago for $1, worn by me several times, loaned to a friend for an event, and even used in a show). Using the leftovers to build a top, I am trying to recreate a style similar to the dress pictured.
Lol. Perfectionist Me thinks I should wait till it is finished to post, but Amusing Me thinks it is more fun to post now. Suggestions, comments, snide remarks?
Oh man, that’lll be fabulous! I love how it’s sculptural. Very modern yet voluptuously regal at same time.
The hardest part for me is momentum but I actually have both front and back of the top cut out, pressed, and marked already. If it turns out, it will be perfect; if not, it will have been a great experience!
I think you are one brave woman! But it will be incredible when it’s finished!
PS – Soooo happy to see you blogging again!
Jenna! You should find me on fb; I was looking for the “like” button on your comment.
thanks for your encouragement!
I’m not finding you on FB…must be doing something wrong. You can find me at Delighting in Today or my personal – Jenna Qu. I’d love to connect!
Ok. I liked your blog but couldn’t find your personal. Don’t get why it should be hard, but glad to get this far.
