Well hello neon housedress of epically awesome proportions by Miss Elaine!! (Thanks to reader Cathryn G for sending this glorious piece my way!!)
The floral colors make me dream of warm summery temperatures (it's SO cold and rainy in CA right now!) that I just had to craft this piece while on a little beachy holiday!
I'm not going to wear the dress to the beach, however I'm gonna make something that'll be perfect to wear with some cutoffs made from an old pair of jeans!
First up! Time to TRIMMMMMMMMMMM. ✂️✂️✂️
Being I couldn't tote my sewing machine in my carry on, I figured I had the next best thing for beachy crafting...a FABRIC FUSION glue pen!!
I also crafted a makeshift desk out of a wicker ottoman to craft a new seam with fabric glue!
It's just a DIY party of all sorts going on!!
I made sure to get all the little nooks and crannies tacked down and let the piece dry overnight. This wasn't the worst view during the dry time either, I might add... 😂
The next day, my new top was ready to wear!
I love the vintagey feel of the top paired with the cutoffs and bright floral Nanette Lepore hat. It's definitely pattern overload, and I love it!
If I could have bottled up the heat and humidity (yes, the humidity too) and brought it home with me I would have in a heartbeat! Gimme that humid air all day just for dewy skin!!
And now, maybe I make a 60s style mini skirt with the remnants? Lots to ponder, LOTS!
