So this is the best I can do for a picture sisters! This is what you get. It's not like I was going to take a shower. I wanted you to notice the dress, not me! Shinny took this picture at her house this weekend while all the children were melting around us.
Just wanted to tell you about the dress I made this summer. The skirt was taken from a Tommy Hilfiger dress I'd had since 2004 which I had tired of, and the arms had yellowed. The top is the top half of an Old Navy maternity top I bought in 2007. Since I was going to send both this pieces to Salvation Army I figured I had nothing to lose by attempted to revitalize them. I definitely have to give most of the technical support thanks to my Mom! But I will take credit for the design.
And as for the trio of yellow roses, I had a sash-like belt that I had bought at Salvation Army a few years ago which I only bought bc of the fun color. I cut it into three pieces, got a book at the library to teach me how to make cloth roses, and sewed 'um up. That was the funnest part. Don't you love the flower details everywhere you look lately?!
i love it, and can't wait to see your next repurpose dress design! you are so creative Nanni. can you tell we just have such an appetite for your sage fashion advice?
