It's amazing what can be done with an extra large hem!
I ordered this dress from Macy's for Lissie since she needed a dress for the upcoming end-of-the-year ballroom dance recital. She and Bryant will be doing a couple's swing routine to Dance With Me Tonight (from the movie That Thing You Do). Lissie envisioned something akin to the dresses in the movie musical Hairspray. Plus, she and Bryant are doing a series of amazing dance lifts for this special number and she needed a full skirt to make it all happen. As we examined this dress online, we thought it looked like it had an extra large hem -- like maybe 5 inches. And this is what I was able to do with an extra 5 inches of fabric off the bottom of the dress . . .
I crafted sleeves for the sleeveless . . .
and a matching bow-tie for Bryant.

ReplyDeleteLisa, you are so talented! They are going to look fabulous! (Hopefully Bryant will lose a little weight AND avoid getting kidnapped before the performance :)) We'll look for a post after the recital so we can see their dance.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this post! That dress is so so cute, and I'm sure it won't get to waste!
