Day 335: Art Collector Dress
Wow! Check out this mumsy number! :/
Oooooh! Sweet collar….not!
As you can see, I’m not entirely thrilled about this dress, folks. It’s made of a lovely lightweight linen (perfect for a hot SC day), and that coral hue is just delightful. But I can’t get over that flippin’ collar! :/
An amputation is in order, friends.
It’s a mercy killing, I swear!
Okay! That ugly collar is gone, freeing up what is actually a very pretty V-neck. But something had to be done about that length!
Chop!
I couldn’t just leave that raw edge fraying all over the place, so under the needle it went!
A brand new day & a brand new hem!
I’m almost done! This dress, though shortened and de-collared was still waaaay to big for me. Not to worry! I wrapped those weirdo side sash thingies around me twice and tied them in the front. Problem solved! I rolled the sleeves up twice, and was good to go!
I headed off to the Tapp’s Art Center for their Pretty Girls Presents Concept: Consumerism Art Show.
Gotta have art!
See that yellowy/orangey piece behind me? I actually ended up buying it! Not buying any new clothes this year has really freed up my art budget!
She made that apron herself!
You should go to this!
Cheers!
