Repurposing..... and now Matching Ladies


YEAH! I finally did it... Not too long I made Addison a pillowcase dress... and I wanted to make a shirt for me to match... but not look too gag me cute. So....


What I did was...... I took a tank dress that my Mom bought me years ago for my honeymoon... its still on sale in the Victoria's Secret catalog... BUT it never really fit me right. The torso was too long on my short waist... so I cut it. Used the top of the tank and then sewed the rest on... I attempted to give it a free design (which Doug doesn't like) but I like it. I wanted the middle part to be longer on one side... and the bottom part to be longer on the other side... sort of a fun look... I'm going to attach a little fabric flower with the same fabric on the top side... will show you later.. but I was so excited that I finished this! Yeah! My very very first REPURPOSING project.
Now- honestly- is it tooooo gag me cute? Or is it cool? I'm in love with it either way... so... you won't hurt my feelings.
