002. Pink Lady


"AHHHH!" - your reaction to this dress

Friend, was that a reaction of shock? Disgust? Fright? Bountiful Joy?

Any of those reactions are acceptable, for mine was a wonderful mix of all those.  It was once again "five for five" day at the Salvation Army, my favorite part of the week to go thrifting! This gem was only a dollar.

I couldn't help but think... was this some poor girl's bridesmaid dress back in the day? Or once a totally rad prom dress? Who cares, because it's no longer any of those things!

I loved the pink lace and the possibilities of that awkwardly placed bow.

A few sprinkles of fairy dust later and we have...

I thought this dress would look really cute as a one-shoulder dress, and alas, it does!

I took that bow, opened it up, braided it and attached it to the waistline.

I wore it to two weddings! So many compliments! :)

It's for sale in my store, sew...
