Carla's NDAD Creation

The before shot of Carla's piece just really sold this whole ensemble - see how adorable she is!!

This dress was something I found buried deep in the recesses of my older sister's closet.  I actually don't think she knew she had this dress - it even had a smell that would make thrift store shoppers cringe!

It's never been worn, but she assures me she got this brand new at a sale in a local store for about P200 (that's around 5 dollars!) 

I love the contrary sister discussion.  Hmm, funky smell yet brand new??  I'm going with Carla!!  Check out what she does!

One of the main reasons why I had to recreate this dress was the middle.

I like to say that it was ill-fitting and flows around my flabs...and not in a good way!!

I love tea dresses and I love florals, so I have to admit, my eyes kind of sparkled at the possibilities.

Fit has always been one of the hardest things for a plus size girl like me, and that's one of the reasons why I fell in love with this dress immediately when it was done!

Carla just took her new shortened top and paired it with her new shortened bottom to make a chic little tea dress that fits her to a T!!  (Yeah, had to go with both tea/T versions.  It just doesn't happen all too often, so I took advantage!)

I love this Carla - you are glowing!  Beautiful color, beautiful fit, beautiful girl.  Have so much fun wearing this and I can't wait to see what else you come up with next!
