Summer dress

At the end of the summer season, my favorite consignment store Clothes Mentor, clearanced out some of the summer inventory.   I got this for only $3.  It had never been worn and had the original store’s tag still attached.  I love the color and the soft drape-y fabric.  It was a good fit…nice.   But I wanted to play around a little with adding some thing extra.

I ironed on some wonder under to a bright flowery fabric from my stash, and then cut out clusters of flowers and placed them along one side of the dress.   I sewed them down on my machine so they won’t go anywhere.

I like it!  It's not a boring summer dress anymore.
