I did not make this dress.. It's literally one of those, "that old thing?" kind of dresses. I bought it a few years ago at (gasp) Rite Aid- just to wear as a cover up to the beach. But it occurred to me that it would be the perfect recipient of some Alexander Henry fabric I've been saving for years... And ruffles are now something I'm not afraid of anymore (for both sewing and wearing)... So the dress got a makeover in time to make it into the suitcase. Truth is, I wanted to bring along a red dress and have run out of sewing time. We leave tomorrow!
ps- J saw this and said, "you bought my favorite dress at Rite Aid?"
ReplyDeletethe secret is out.
The dress is just FAB-U-LOUS! Love the colors love the way you added the bottom ruffle - just perfect - have fun in Italy :)
ReplyDeletethanks trillium!
ReplyDeletei had a lot of fun wearing the dress... it ended up being my daytrip dress that I wore on a tour to San Gimigniano, Sienna, and wine tasting in Chianti...
