At first I was not really sure what to expect when I picked this sleeveless top (bought in the early '90s) because I did not have anything in my closet to match it with, to make a full length dress.
So, I decided to just let my creative juices flow. When I looked through my stash of remnants, the colours just moved in my eyes like a kaleidoscope.
That's when I realised I could make something different but nice.
Because the fabric is light and flowy, I decided to use chiffon for the skirt and sleeves to have an overall light and flowy dress.
After picking the pieces I wanted, I began conceptualizing and designing a pattern in my head, while pinning the pieces together on my mannequin.
Once I was satisfied with the design, the production process began. I only had to remove the darts at the back and the hem at the bottom, cut pieces according to the required measurements, serger the ends, join them together and in no time at all, the new dress is ready.
It took me less than a week to complete the new dress.
There is no drama for this project either because everything was smooth sailing.
Someone asked me before, how or where I got the idea for all my dresses, and honestly, I did not have an answer because I just went with the flow.
Who could tell that this was a cut-and-paste project, if I had not disclosed the facts?
I can proudly say that you cannot find this item anywhere. 💃🐒👌🙋
