There's been a bit of reminiscing happening on FB
due to my blogging mojo being a little light on lately
and
I'm convinced
if I never took another photo of a REinvention for 5yrs
I'd be able to share a 'new' one everyday...
not wanting to steal the Capes thunder
I've held off showing you what the Cape was actually created to go with
The Tie Frock
originally meant to be a skirt
and like all good REinventions they sometimes have a mind of their own
and it's a good idea to listen
before cutting anything you should check all your options
the front was always going to be attached to a pair of mens trousers
however the Tie Train was a stroke of genius on the part of my mother-in-law
[again it paid to listen]
I'm a huge fan of using mens ties in REinvents,
they're made for reinventing
they've come in handy on numerous REinventing occasions.
Jody - that dress is amazing!!!!!! I LOVE it! xx
ReplyDeleteUtterly utterly fab dress!! They must of been some quite old ties to get the wide width :) Pops used to call them his dinner plate ties, so if he was licking the plate any gravey etc didnt go on his pants but on the multicoloured ties where they hardly showed up at all !!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThe way your mind works is just amazing Jody! This gorgeous creation is a stroke of genius! I thoroughly love the way you think and I'm sure if I knew you that I'd love you to pieces too!
ReplyDeleteSorry little cape, but your thunder has been stolen BIG time! :))))) ♥
(sound of jaw dropping)
ReplyDeleteThat is one SERIOUSLY frickin fabulous dress!!!!!!
The BACK is so sexy! So curvaceous!!!
