Home Away from Home Dress
I made this dress while I was in California for a few weeks. We stayed at my parents’ house, and my mom has a sewing machine. It’s a Brother, which means that I fought with it the entire time. But at least I was able to produce a wearable garment using it…
I brought a couple sewing patterns with me. I used vintage Vogue 1046, pictured below, to make this dress. Continue reading

Blue Diamond Dress
This dress began as a stretchy double knit tunic/mini dress. The print on this dress is what caught my eye. The tunic made me think of a tennis outfit from the 70s. I wasn’t into the 70s mini dress, so … Continue reading

Cotton Candy Dress
The 70s are back. This time almost every fashion trend of the time is incarnate in one dress. OK, not quite, but it’s a doozy. Everything about this dress alludes to the 70s: the Grecian-style, the crinkly, accordion pleats, the … Continue reading

The Newsroom Dress
Today’s piece was not in the picture from yesterday of all my thrift store treasures (It was hanging to dry after being laundered, and I forgot about it), but I did come across it on the same trip. I loved … Continue reading
