Day 326: Grecian Bubble Dress
I love the dark green hue and subtle print of today’s dress…
This is what I look like at 5am with no makeup and bedhead. Now ya know.
…and that’s it! I didn’t like weird cross-over top of the dress at all. It felt really stifling!
I got to snipping!
Snip!
I carefully snipped the top part away from the bottom part, right along the serged edge, so it wouldn’t fray.
For some dresses, this would be a totally no-sew refash, but I had to stitch down a couple of things before I moved forward.
Sewing off those pockets!
Stitching down that zipper!
Next, I pulled it under my arms with the bottom hem as the top, and the smaller waist as the bottom and pinned it once…
Riiiiiight there!
Then I began folding it back and forth in front of me, making pleats, like so:
Fold…and fold…and fold…and fold!
Then, I pinned that from the inside.
Riiiight here!
Alllllmost done! I pinned one of my favorite brooches to the center of the pleated section (both to accessorize and to secure this dress even further) and that was that! 🙂
Another one of my grandmother’s awesome brooches!
I wore my funky bubble hem dress to work and for an after-work happy hour showing of an terrific installation by local artist, Eileen Blyth!
Loving that funky bubble hem!
And here’s a few pics of the installation!
At the Adluh building!
This is made from salvaged metal found in the Vista.
I really wanted to take little orange dude home with me! 🙂
And here’s the artist!
Either Eileen is tall, or I’m short. 🙂
Cheers!
