Bridesmaids Dress Revamp

9/28/2010

I'm pretty excited about this! This summer my cousin got married and I was a bridesmaid. Melissa, the bride, did a pretty decent job picking out bridesmaids dresses for us: great color, simple strapless A-line dress...nothing offensive at all! :)  Except that sometimes, these solid color dresses just read "bridesmaid."  So, I decided to add some embellishments to it, to see if I could make it wearable again.  I figured I had nothing to lose...if it didn't turn out well, then it would suffer the fate of all my other bridesmaids dresses and remain in my closet indefinitely.

However, I am liking the results!  Here is a preliminary picture. If I do wear it this weekend, I'll try to get some good/better pictures of it!
Before:

After:

I'm debating whether I should keep going with the embellisments, or leave it how it is.  Any thoughts?  I'm loving how it's turning out!!

(Also, let me just say, to all my friend and family brides who might read this: none of you have ever put me in a dress that I didn't like, and I am thankful!!) :)

Gathered and Pleated Dresses

Good morning!  Late Thurs night, I came up with this plan to try to re-make a bridesmaids dress into a dress to wear out to a bachelorette party by using some well placed embellishments.  Wish me luck!  I got some great fabric yesterday and I've already got some great shoes...and if it turns out well, I will definitely post some before and after pictures!


In the meantime, here a a few dresses that I am in love with...I love great details and embellishments. Why do these pleats and and ruffles and gathers affect me so?? I'm swooning!! :) I love the ultra-femininity of all these pieces. Enjoy!

Raw silk bolero by maryandangelika...not a dress, but I think this bolero *makes* the dress! I love a good bolero...sometimes the dress looks too plain without it! :)
