Wispy Slip Dress Blue Teal Navy

Exquisite slip dress in beautiful shades of blue and teal is the OOAK dress you are seeking for your upcoming event. The dress is wispy, flowy, sexy, unique and perfect for a prom, wedding or other special day or could be worn with flip flops for a beach picnic.

The base of this dress is a simple blue full slip with yards of flowing printed fabric attached above the bra line of the slip. Flowers made from sheer teal and purple fabric were added to the seam line. The fabric has 3 sections, so it opens in the front and on the sides when you walk or when a breeze blows. The original bra area of the slip remains intact, so it fits over the chest perfectly and fits nicely. The straps are adjustable. The edges of the fabric were left raw for a different look. The dress is41 inches long and the chest is 38 inches.

Finding the perfect dress for a spring dance, wedding or other special occasion can be frustrating to say the least. Finding unique, one of a kind dresses can be a a challenge, especially if you live in a small town. Isn't it devastating to arrive at an event just to see a mirror image of yourself across the dance floor! So buy a OOAK dress, upcycled, repurposed, recycled...whatever term you give it.

Yard Sale Day!

Yard sales have finally started, well for me anyway. I'm going this morning to about 8 yard sales in the area. Starting with an estate sale across town. My hubby's even going! I love it. He's as bad as me. Loves to rummage through junk. I'll post pictures later. I don't even know what I'm looking for, just looking. Check back later!

Later that day...
OK. Today was a completely sucky yard sale day. What is up with people? No antiques. No old stuff. Not even any good new stuff. I bought an old bowl that I collect, a war medal (OK, that was pretty good), 2 old slips and a shelf thing. I'll get pictures on tomorrow. I don't know. Maybe it was too early. I'll try again next weekend. I think we're gonna find an auction tomorrow.

It's EASY to upcycle clothing

There are hundreds if not thousands of ways to revamp clothing to make them new and exciting. Clothing that's too small, too big, too out of style or even clothing with stains or other damage can be revamped to enable them wearable again. Here are some ideas.

Great pair of pants for lounging, bummin, working out or sleeping, these capri length 'scarecrow pants' are funky and fabulous and a great color. The electric blue light weight flannel is cozy and soft. They have tattered scrappy pieces on the bottoms of the legs, adding a neat flare to these everyday pants. These capris started out as regular long length pants but are now more stylish. 

Pajama pants that were too short and a little gawky can be cut into capris, add a ruffle at the bottom and WA-LA!




A large woman's top that has been cut off short, opened in front and closed again with corset-style ties. How simple is that!

Cute Guess sweater that has been revamped to make it more stylish and comfortable. The sweatshirt has been opened in the front and the cuffs were split to give you more room and comfort. The sweater is dark gray thermal with black under arms, on sides and on cuffs and neckline. The sweater is a large and has white writing and graphics on the front.
