Day 257: Paisley Park Dress

Day 258: Ashes of Roses: Refashioning a Thrift Store Dress
Day 256: Teal Day Dress

I have to admit, I’m a big fan of paisley prints!

Day 257: Paisley Park Dress 2
Paisley! In yo face! 🙂

Sadly, this paisley dress wasn’t very fun…yet!  The length is awful, and it really needs a waist!

I got to chopping…

Chop!

I turned the dress backwards, and used the button closure back to make a new Vneck.  First I had to deepen it a bit…

Deepening that V!

I used that bottom scrap as a sash (I know!  I know!  But I like my matchy-matchy sashes!), and was all done!  I wore my new dress to meet a pal for an after work bevvie!  Oh…and do you recognize my head scarf?  It’s the leftover scrap from Day 253!

Oh hai Blue Moon! 🙂

Okay…so I’m sure some of you are wondering what’s up will all this no-sew action, eh?  Rest assured, I’m sewing…a lot.   The show I’m costuming opens in just a couple of weeks!  Eeee!  Soon all will be revealed in one giant post!  🙂

Here’s another small teaser…one of my Alien Electrode Gun Holsters!  🙂  I kind of wanted to wear it to work today.

It's just what your Electrode Gun needs! 🙂

Cheers!
