My Bridesmaid Dress

June 22, 2009 by Jessica 4 Comments

Keren asked us to buy a black dress to wear, preferably one from Davids Bridal. I went right onto Ebay and found this dress for $20. When I received it however, it was different than what I thought it would be. In the pic on Ebay, it was on a hanger, so I thought the top went further down and I couldn’t tell that it had a train. Once I tried it on, I liked the fit, but the train had to go. I pulled it up in the middle and just tacked it into place to create a bustle looking style.

Back of my outfit

I made the bolero/shrug (whatever you want to call it). I used a t-shirt to create the jacket part, then used this tutorial to figure out how to do the ruffle part. I was very inspired by Bonzie (her creations are amazing!!!!!). One day, I will buy some of her stuff….

Down the alley

All three of us together

PS: I did my own hair using Bumpits (they work!). I bought mine on Ebay, but you can buy a set of three at Walgreens for only $10 if you want to try them. I unfortunately saw this good deal after I purchased mine.

    I love what you did with the dress. Especially the train trick and bolero, I love shrugs. A few weeks ago I stayed at a hotel and watching late night infomercials I saw Bumpits, I was drifting but I told myself I would get some and try them. When I got home I remember the infomercial but not the name at all. So thanks. I’m going to Walgreens now.

Easter and Spring Break are now behind us, but it Easter and Spring Break are now behind us, but it was such a good time! For this past Easter I really wanted to make egg aprons for miss E and my other young nieces and nephew that are here. I looked at a bunch of pictures and just kind of figured it out myself, but I made four aprons that can hold up to 10 eggs. Thankfully I had enough fabric already to make them 🙌 It won’t be too long until my youngest will be too old for some of this, so I am trying to squeeze it all in before that happens 💛
