Over the years I’ve made some very nice silk party dresses. We have a wedding to go to, so I pulled them out and they just don’t fit right anymore. Happens to all of us. In digging through my clothes I found a cute, beaded white shirt.
So I took this dress
And turned it into 
This skirt.
Not bad, I’ll dress it up with nice jewelry and some high heel shoes.
Well, I wasn’t happy with that look, for a wedding I want a DRESS! So I went back and tried on the one dress that fit but just didn’t feel right. (lesson to self, don’t try things on late at night)
Aside from the dappled light, this dress is cute and jazzed up with jewelry – even better.
We clean up nicely.
At the wedding a number of people commented on how lovely my outfit looks. So much so, that the grooms cousin had this to say:
Artisanal Dress. I guess that’s hipster speak for a well sewn handmade dress. So now she wants me to make her one.
Meanwhile, another wedding in September, I think it’s time to make a new party dress.
