Day 272: Never a Bride Dress
Whew! Things are getting crazy/exciting with Plan 9 From Outer Space! We’ve passed the point where everyone is mad at each other (this happens with every show), and the show has really come together! 🙂 I can honestly say I’m really proud of this production, and everyone’s extremely hard work! 🙂
Anywho…Despite working on costumes every day, I still have to clothe myself too!
A Wardrobe Malfunction just waiting to happen!
This is an old bridesmaid dress that a friend passed on to me. It’s a pretty color, and the cut is actually really cute. 🙂 But, there are still a couple of problems. First off, it looks like a bridesmaid dress. Which isn’t really appropriate outside of a wedding! Next (and this is a big one), I don’t have the boobage to hold the top of this dress up! :/
Not to worry! This is going to be a two birds one stone refashion!
I got to thinking. What do bridesmaids dresses not have? Answering this question would help me make this dress work for everyday wear. 🙂 My answer came to me right away. Prints. Most bridesmaid dresses are just solid colors. But how do I add a print to this frock? And what about the whole covering my chest thing?
I dug through my scrap drawer (which was under a pile of boxes in the garage) and got to cutting…
Time for a pretty print!!!
Then I got to sewing…
Stitchin’!
Do you see where I’m going here?
I added a fun brooch, and now my I’m ready to rock out with my frock out! 😉
HALT(er)! Who goes there???
Just chillin’ with Madame Stage Manager! 🙂
Cheers!

GREAT SOLUTION! Who knew? Such a simple change and it doesn’t look like a bride’s maid dress any more! You’re good!
clever girl!
cute addition to the dress! I was thinking you were gonna’ applique your print on it somehow. I was thinking a letter J on the skirt like the L for Laverne from Laverne and Shirley. lol I like the straps though!
I’m still not loving it. Appliqués would help but working it into 2 pieces and wearing them with separate outfits would help more.
i think this would have been a great time for a sash as well to break up some of the blue on the front of the dress. and maybe it should have been shortened some but a sash in the print would have helped take it from bridesmaid to night on the town
