dress refashion

I found this little black dress on clearance - nice cut and fabric but too short and sleeveless - not quite right for my little girl.


I cut up an old shirt and now it is longer and has sleeves - much better. The shirt wasn't quite wide enough around so I inset a second shirt button placket between the button placket of the toile shirt - now it works - plus it is a fun detail.





I am sharing this here:

make it wear it

    I like this dress. Whose house is she standing in front of. And she has her hair up. Makes her look so grown up. But hey Mom I guess she is growing up.

    For clothing black can sometimes be the ultimate tip. As "color" black is always interesting. As being synesthete I live a life in colors. Synesthesia means that I see colors when I see words and numbers.I transform this in paintings of names and birthdays.
