friday fabulousness.....epic slip dress.......

This is a re fashion of my Nanny's Vanity Fair vintage slip.......a thought & something so simple to sew.....making something old...... new again & a slip that is too pretty to be covered up.............

I also used her lace pieces that was given to me.........

I sewed the larger lace to the bottom hem of the slip which had a tiny hem.............

my inspiration came from 1997......Cindy's slip dress for her wedding..........

and this photo that was sent to me.........to which I added my lace camisole made by me.

sew you later!



Friday Fabulousness......Mother Daughter.....

a skirt & dress......

I used a simple shift pattern for her dress......with pink bias tape for the edges.........

for my skirt I used New Look 6571 & I added in seam pockets........our sunflowers bloomed late this year because of the cooler weather.......

mini-me picked out this bold hot pink fabric & the patterns..............



I am enjoying these mother daughter outfits because I so know it will not last..........so until then.... it truly is  Friday Fabulousness!



Friday Fabulousness..on trend....my sheer stripe skirt madness...

I was emailed this other day by Janlynn-sewmore my sewing blogger friend that had saw this stripe sheer skirt in Canada's Fashion Magazine.  She thought I had made it as it looks very similar to my Sheer Skirt that I designed in April 2011!  Being the OCD freak that I am, I had to run out & buy a copy.

It is in the current September 2011 Trend issue.......mmmmmmn from Montreal to Vancouver..........you say?



I actually made 2 styles of these stripe sheer skirts......blogged here with a mini tutorial & with a zipper blogged here

When I designed this sheer maxi skirt........ I had this gorgeous fabric for years waiting around to be made into something....edgy & modern....& I had not seen anything like it with the bold ribbon stripes & chiffon sheerness. 

At the time I was on a sheer madness skirt making frenzy & made several others in different fabrics so it's kinda cool to be on trend!
