The youngest had her dance concert last night
and it wasn't until
a couple of days ago I considered what I'd wear
turns out
Teatowel and Tablecloth Frocks just aren't 'fancy-pants' enough for the Crown Theatre
so by combining 2ish op shop sourced garments,
a filed Nicola Waite Skirt
a little gold/pink shot French indie labeled silk Top
and abandoning any idea of turning the cream net sequinned top into anything
a filed Nicola Waite Skirt

I removed the invisible zip from the skirt
and lined the bodice with another filed garment
joined the two together
creating the
Fancy Pants Frock
suitable for all swishy soirees I might be invited to in the foreseeable future
the icing was I got to REcycle shoes from a couple of years ago
[my waistline might have changed thankfully my feet haven't]
and as much as I thought while creating the Fancy Pants Frock
I might be in danger of over dressing for the occassion
turns out I did a little
didn't care
because isn't that what Mums do....
Oh she is beautiful....love to see her on you......Crown theatre now that is fancy pants...hope she did well.....we had ours this week...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dress...perfect for any soiree :D) m.b.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see it on with the shoes. I am wearing my fancy dresses a lot more, wore one to morning tea yesterday. Otherwise they just sit in the wardrobe and that is such a waste
ReplyDeleteVery very nice. I'm sure your daughter was very proud of her stylish mum and isn't it nice to dress up occasionally?
ReplyDeleteOh yes she is quite lovely Jody! You've done really well, and as Jackie said it is nice to dress up now and then, and even better to over do it a bit and feel rather posh! Something I don't seem to do much at all. :) ♥
