Last summer dress

Finally got to wear this reconstructed vintage dress out to a party at the end of summer. When I bought this dress, it was floor-length and long-sleeved. I completely cut it up and resewed it to my style. Thankfully it barely fit around my 5-month pregnant belly.

Dallas outfit Day 1

First day back in Dallas in five years. I wore a top that I made out of a vintage dress that was way too silly for me to wear in an ironic way. So I cut off the sleeves and collar and skirt and made it into a top. Perfect for a stroll in downtown in the mild warm weather.

The Light of Day

It's finally starting to get sunny so I'm kicking off the season with this floral dress. I bought it at Goodwill years ago but haven't photographed it yet.

When I got it, it was floor length, long sleeved, and about a size 2. I thought I would cut up the fabric to make a top or pants, but decided to leave it as a dress. Just cut off the sleeves, took some fabric from the bottom and make it larger on the sides. Turned out well I believe.
