    Day 204: Have a Nice Trip Dress

    January 20, 2012 / 23 Comments

    I love Kaftans!  You could definitely say I’m Kaftan Krazy, because any time I find on hanging on the $1 rack at one of my fave thrift stores, I just have to scoop it up!  You can imagine my glee at finding this sweet numba! Of course, I can’t go out for a fun Friday night looking like this!  First, I pinned each side about 3″ in.  It is time for some lipo! Next, I ran each side through my…

    Day 133: The Mirror Has Two Dresses

    November 10, 2011 / 9 Comments

    Today’s piece was taken from the big bag ‘o stuff from Susan Lenz (remember her?).  This one made me giggle. This is one EXTREME kaftan!  🙂  Check out those mirrors all over the chest and hems! Sadly, about six of the mirrors had fallen off from the top of the kaftan. I knew I would be shortening this bad boy, so I cut out some of the mirrors from the bottom hem, and relocated them to the top of the dress. …

    Oh Kaftan! My Kaftan! Vol. 2

    February 28, 2011 / 11 Comments

    My eyes were immediately drawn to this very loud Kaftan when I saw it at my favorite $1 thrift store. I just knew it would make a cute little summer dress.  I just needed to remove everything that wasn’t a cute little summer dress first.  🙂 The kaftan was made of thick cotton, with a strong metal zipper in the back.  As today was a lovely 75 degrees, some of that fabric was gonna have to go. I stashed the…

    A Happy Hippie Dress to Top Refashion

    January 25, 2011 / 3 Comments

    Today’s refashion was super simple.  I found this guy at the dollar-a-pound Goodwill, and loved it right away. I love the bright colors and the light, breezy fabric!  If I were of a kaftan-wearing sort, I would have kept it as-is.  Sadly, I am not.  I’ve been a wee bit stressed lately.  All I wanted was a comfy top to throw on over some jeans for my date with some fresh-baked cookies and theeeeeese guys: This seriously might be the funniest…

    Oh Kaftan! My Kaftan!

    I’m not gonna lie to you guys.  Today’s piece is NOT a thrift store item.  It’s brand spankin’ new, right out of 2G’s, where I work most Saturdays. That being said, it WAS super-duper on sale.  With the sale price paired with my employee discount, this kaftan came to somewhere around $5.    Whatevrah.  I can splurge every now and then if I want to.  And, I’m about to make it look like another dress that costs a whopping $350! As…
