Hilo Hattie Muumuu Refashion

My choice for dress, is for a friends Hawaiian themed wedding in just a few weeks from now. I purchased a Hilo Hattie Hawaiian Muumuu from etsy to refashion.

It started off rather problematic as I'd cut it too short, but fixed it up using thrifted mens mint green neckties to add a grip strip, and a reversible sash belt. I've also removed both sleeves.




The Sash
green strip..





To finish off, I've used scrap pieces to make a hair clip/brooch rosette ..

    What a beautiful dress you have created! How clevert to think of adding in the strip to solve your problem, and it looks wonderful. :-)
