Royal Refashion

The "Hat Required" Refashion
We're posting looks inspired by Royal Fashion over at The Sew Weekly. Clearly the Royal Wedding invite did not say "hat optional". Why else would the princesses wear these monstrosities to the wedding?!?! Imight not live in a monarchy, but I know better than to piss off a Queen.

Hat it is.
The "Hat Required" Refashion

 This dress was only $6.39 from my favorite thrift store. It's 100% Rayon and made by K&Company. It was in excellent condition, too. I removed the sleeves and resized the bodice. I ran a new row of stitching over the waist seam, it was coming loose in some spots. I also made a small pleat at the shoulder to bring it in. I was glad to work on something easy after last week. The romper I made then had FOURTEEN darts!  

I think that hat I'm wearing was a buck from Target's dollar section a while back. The cameo necklace, clip-ons and the bracelet were my gran's.

Here are some before shots of the dress:

I admit, these pics are, perhaps, more Diana Ross than Queen Elizabeth ;o)
