Today’s piece began as a huge super-long dress from the 70’s. When I first found it, it was covered in dust. It looked like it had been hanging in someone’s attic for a while. After a good washing, the dust came out. Still…it’s not quite me. I love that Fortuny-style pleating, but the length is a bit much. :/

Luckily…this is an easy no-sew fix! 🙂

And that’s it! Now that huge dress is a cute top! 🙂


I wore my new top in for an evening of making up with Gypsy. I still feel guilty for yesterday’s refashion, but it looks like she’s forgiven me. 🙂

Cheers!
Love Fortuny style clothes. never seem to come across any though 🙁 Mind you, I´m not really the shape for them 🙂
I’m curious, too, as to what you will do with the bottom portion.
I can’t wait to see what you will be doing with the bottom half!
Gypsy’s getting big!
I know! She’s a roly-poly now. I’m probably going to have to put her on a diet!
