I had to take some time off blogging, with life being very busy around the winter holidays... and then it took some time to get back on track. I'm sure many of you know how that is...
I did continue refashioning though, even a fancy concert dress, in which I then sang some New Years concerts. It's a bit out of season right now, but I want to present it to you anyway.
I had bought this dress very cheaply from China a long time ago, something I would never do anymore these days. But since it was already in my possession, I figured I'd better make the most of it and upcycle it.
The amazing bead-embroidered tulle fabric I bought for the purpose cost more than the original dress...
....but after a LOT of hand sewing I really think it was worth it...
I posted some more pictures over at my Blog: Of Dreams and Seams, with some more detailed information about the how, where and why...
Best to all of you!
