This past weekend the hubby took me to see Florence + the Machine in concert! I was super excited because I love their music! In the spirit of the concert I would be needing a boho look!
I started with this dress, which is out of my comfort zone because I really don't like green. But I'll give it a try!
I began by taking in the bodice by 2 1/2 inches.
Then I shortened the straps.
Awhile back I dyed this shirt, which used to be white. I was very surprised at how the lace had taken in the dye and very unimpressed by how the shirt did not. As a whole the shirt looked nice but it wasn't what I wanted.
I harvested the lace from that shirt for my new dress.
I sewed the larger lace to the front.
I also used fabric paint to add a little color to the existing dress...not too pleased on how the color turned out.
I sewed the smaller lace pieces to the back where the straps ended.
The bottom of the dress had this drawstring. I added wooden beads for decoration then decided I wanted to remove the drawstring all together.
Now for the flower crown:
I wrapped an old headband in brown ribbon.
Hot glued fabric flowers onto the headband.
This is what I ended up with!
I think it turned out really nice!

Amazing!!!
Happy Refashioning!!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great job. I love the green too.
ReplyDeleteI love how you stuck the headband in the back of your hair! Great idea....I will tuck that away.
ReplyDeleteI think your green dress is lovely and I especially like the little bits of lace in the back.
I can understand not liking a color, but you might want to wear more greens, as they look lovely on you. & I too love the floral headband worn in the back 💚
ReplyDeleteI love Florence too! She's so awesome. Have you seen the video of her visiting a patient too sick to attend her concert? So sweet. The refashion, as usual, is awesome.
