So I got the crazy idea to make a pattern from a dress I got a Target several years ago and sew a new dress for this summer. No matter how good of an idea it seemed to be, I won't ever try it again. The end result is better than expected, but the armholes are much too big, the waist is too low, and the shape of the skirt is way off. It's comfortable though and with a sweater or jacket and a belt, who has to know?!
Fabric- Blue and White Stripe Cotton Shirting from Joannes
gaping armholes...
Sweater- Talbots
Belt- Landsend
Shoes- Macys
Denim Jacket- Kmart
Belt- Landsend
Loafers- Landsend
Jacket- Kmart
Belt- JCrew
Sandals- Born Outlet
We're heading to Ohio to see some family over the weekend! Hope you all have a safe and enjoyable holiday! Find some time to relax!
