I spent the weekend in Palm Springs with girlfriends, so I felt that this muumuu had to make the trip along with me. When in Palm Springs, you muumuu it, right?
Check back later today to see the full remake, but here's a little photo booth teaser :)
My muumuu was a total hit and so were the other vintage flowy pieces I brought along with. The desert wardrobe is coming this week!
Natalie is my kind of girl. Let's just discuss for a second...
When I saw her project I just knew we were destined to be refashioning pals. See what she created...
I've been a fan of your blog for a while now, and I've had a love for sewing since my mom taught me to make little pillows with a needle and thread. I've since upgraded to a machine, and refashioning thrift store clothing is one of my favorite hobbies. Is it because I'm cheap? Yes. Is it because I like thinking outside the box and recycling something old into something new? Yes.
I found this lovely denim-ish button down dress at a Goodwill in Festus for $2.25.
My friend's expression explains how we felt about it initially.
Best. Expression. Ever. See what Natalie did to this denim number...
After taking up the straps, taking in the sides, chopping a bunch off the bottom, and adding a little elastic to cinch the waist some more, I ended up with a dress that I wouldn't be embarrassed to wear in public!
How's about that for a gorgeous new denim jumper???
I think this piece is perfect - what a way to take something outdated and give it new life in a totally current way! It looks like something you'd grab at the store! Natalie, my refashioning BFF, can't wait to see what you craft next!
Remember this before look?? Polyester, peplum, ink spots...
We crafted it into this lovely top...
...but there was room to style it in more ways!! I decided for the second wear, I'd pair it like this...
Top! Skinny jeans! Heels! Vintage purse!
I love that you get to see the peplum now!!
It's amazing how switching out the bottom option changes the entire look and feel to the outfit!
From one spotty dress to a new top worn in multiple ways. Couldn't be happier with this one!!
