winter whites

Kari's NDAD Creation

It's getting colder out, the holidays are around the corner, and I'm already thinking about what to wear for all the holiday events, from the cocktail parties to the weekend brunches. This year I'm definitely going to do some sort of winter whites and Kari's outfit is getting me excited to find one of my own.

I got this lovely sack from an antique shop. After talking the owner down to $3 I began to question even spending that much!

It was hideous, but the material is a beautiful lace on top and interesting plaid on the skirt that added promise!

Let's see what Kari makes with this one!

I removed the sleeves, the shoulder pads, and at least a foot of fabric from the length. I took in the sides next, which was about another foot. I'm all done!

I could not be happier with this beautiful dress!

This turned out so pretty, Kari! Add some tights and a sweater for a winter look and all you need is a fab statement necklace to make this rock for the summer. Love the texture of the bodice too. When are you heading back to that antique store?? Can't wait to see the next outfit remake!
