Day 324. 41 days and $44 left to go.

Oct 19, 2010 | 149 Comments

It’s CBS’ The Early Show day and it did take me a bit to figure out what the perfect dress was going to be to wear for the segment!! After trying to avoid whites, reds, blacks, and patterns, my pick was the below.

Day 324 - After

Hello 80s! It’s been awhile since I’ve visited. So glad to see you again in such green/crinkled/rhinestoned flower form!!

To get camera ready, there were a handful of things to tweak!!

First, that rhinestoned floral applique…gone!! I love it, but not just hanging out on the corner of the dress. Perhaps I’ll turn it into a barrette or add to a headband, but right now, I’m not digging.

I took my seam ripper and began taking it apart from the dress.

Flower...off

Now that it was removed…

Detached!

…I had to tackle the length. Because it had an asymmetrical length, I didn’t like that the bottom ruffled layer hit me at my ankles. Bad place to accentuate. Bad!! I lifted the layer about the bottom one and prepped for cutting it off!

Last layer is a goner!!

Scissors came out and snipped away.

And it's off!!

Snipping continued to the sleeves. The long sleeves were not pleasing me, so I cut them to my elbows.

Short sleeved!!

I also decided to turn the dress around and wear it from behind because there was a lovely V-shape that it made right where the zipper ended. I didn’t know what I wanted to do to the front, so I just thought turning the dress around would make my decision easier.

To avoid any minor on-camera faux pas’, I unstitched the tag from the back/new-front of the dress before stitching the sleeves.

Tag is almost gone too!

I woke up bright and early, put myself together (added a belt and some heels), and flashed a pre-photo in the full length mirror in my room…

Almost showtime!

…before taking another in the hallway before getting shuttled to the studio!

Day 324 - After (in the hotel hallway)

I arrived, got all made up and coiffed, and hit set to see all my dresses looking gorge on mannequins!!

Day 324 - After

They looked so fab freshly steamed and hanging oh, so, nicely! It looked like a little boutique!!

More dresses!!

Right before the segment, lovely Erica Hill and I shot a quick pic before going live!

Me & Erica!

Just in case you missed the segment…here you go!!

It was a blast and such a pleasure to meet the awesome staff at CBS’ The Early Show. (Click here for the article that posted after the segment!!) After taping was complete, I had two very important stops on the agenda.

One: Dunkin Donuts.

Dunkin D's!!!

Two: Central Park.

Le Sigh

I brought my coffee and people watched for a bit…lots of kids in strollers, shopping bags from Bloomingdale’s and Saks Fifth Avenue, as well as groups of tourists taking photos. Speaking of…

Fall in NY...

After vegging in the park and enjoying the lovely morning, I went back to the hotel and packed up my stuff to head back, back to Cali, Cali.

Oh NY…

Definitely see you soon! Bye!!

I read and checked out your blog months ago. You’re very talented – and the idea is brilliant! I absolutely love this dress and you wear it so well. Congratulations on all your success.
ladykay

You were great on the show – a natural! I loved the dress you were wearing and was anxious to see its tranformation. It’s beautiful; I love the green!
Aude

Congratulations! Well deserved success for someone who has inspired a lot of people!
http://alcessa.wordpress.com/ Alcessa

I love the green, also. And the dress itself looks lovely!

Some time ago, I checked all the dresses you’d made so far and while watching the video, I realised I didn’t recognize some of them. Which is great! So I can go back one day and pretend I am seeing them for the first time…

You see, real fun begins after 30.

Congratulations, I’m from Brazil and I would say it has been an inspiration here too!
His creativity has crossed over here!

Fabulous dress and fabulous show! Congrats, once again!! Love your creations and the inspiration that tags along with them.
AllieB

I saw this one and thought, “There’s NO way in the world that that dress could be fixed to anything beautiful”.

I was so wrong! I love it! I want one of those dresses for myself now! You have such a talent and your creativity is amazing! How do you look at an old, dated dress and see such potential? I want that trait! Does it come in pill form? As I would like lifetime’s supply, please.

Your interview went so well! You were so articulate and seemed so comfortable!
Yellowbutterfly1979

Congrats on all your successes. Loved seeing a lot of your creations in one place. The green dress turned out super cute BTW.
http://www.happyfamilytravels.wordpress.com happyfamilytravels

Again, congratulations on the show. You did a really great job – I’m so happy for your success. You looked great and so did all of your amazing creations. If you were nervous, it certainly did NOT show!! Fantastic job!!!
Denise

I think this dress is my favorite so far. You took it from a “Golden Girls” look to something completely modern and gorgeous!
Magdalene

Wow! How far you’ve come. When you were formulating your plan last year to create the blog and do all the dresses, did you have the faintest idea that it could become as popular as it has? I watched your CBS spot and Nate Berkus and read the LA Magazine article. I can’t get enough of you. I’m in awe, inspired, and maybe just a little envious (in a good way, you know) You are the coolest thing. Ever.
A.Fox

OMG I am so excited for you, how awesome! I love the dress, too. As so many other times, I saw the before image and I was like “Oh Brother. How is she gonna pull this one off! That thing is awful!” and you did it. It looks perfectly fitted and extremely chic, you did it yet again. I don’t think I’ve seen an outfit you’ve done and not liked it. Bravo on all your success!

Thanks for posting The Early Show video – it was great! Loved the dress you had on, another one of your fab creations!
Dnalegnal

I’m glad you posted it! I couldn’t catch it yesterday. I must confess, I’ve been selfishly wondering what I’ll do first thing when I get to work once there are no more new dresses to look at!

Very exciting stuff for you
http://twitter.com/oscar9209 Sharon DeMarco

Saw you on the show. You were great! I haven’t seen so many ideas on the web since I found http://www.threadbangers.com a few years ago. If you don’t have a book in the making, you should really consider it. There aren’t that many former or recent books on remaking stylish clothing, and your ideas are fabulous. All the pictures as you do it are great too. A book with how to pictures would help a lot of people recycle what they already have or can easily find.
http://www.glamourglassandgems.wordpress.com Tabitha

If I had to pick the most flattering dress you’ve ever recreated for you, this is definitely it! You look absolutely gorgeous in this one!! This has to be the most beautiful dress you’ve done! I had a very difficult time picking an absolute fav up until this moment, but this one totally just blows every other one out of the water. And WTG on another show!!! =D
Anna

You are just awesome! I think when you’re done you should do an online sale or auction of all of your wonderful creations!
Shravanthi

Awesome..congrats!
Julia

wow. what a feeling to actually see you in moving pictures xD
but id really like to know what you were doing with the green dress ón the manequin. :d anyways, your new dress ist AWESOME!
you just look so so cool in that one!
Melodine

Fabulous job on both accounts…the dress and the show! I’m SO glad you’ll be around after the 365 for us all!!
faith

well done! i love your dresses so much! and guess what? you even made it onto my favorite TV recap show, prime time in no time!!!
Charlotte

I so enjoy your blog. You have been an inspiration to me.
Nut489

This outfit was horrific. I mean absolutely something i would have NEVER looked at. I cant figure out if it was just you, or the transformation of the dress but either way the picture in the tan trench coat is SOOOO beautiful. I probably would have changed the sleeves some, but you made this dress look amazing, even though i doubted you. Bravo, and keep up the amazing work. Wish you lived in Texas so you could help me with my birthday dress this sunday! Maybe one day!
Much love,
Meg

Congratulations on one more success! I discovered your blog months ago, and it’s my everyday “must read”. This dress is another great transformation. I’m so happy for you!

This is one of my favourites! I love how you make all these seem so effortless. And was really thrilled to see you in the video… Keep going and I do hope you’ll stay on as you mentioned in the interview after one year is up! … Love, all the way from Singapore

Congratulations on getting such well-deserved attention!

And I just wanted to share my own! I sew all my own clothes, and I’m a costume designer, so I took your challenge and these two are my favorite:

Ever since I read about you on Good News Network, you’ve been such an inspiration to me. Although that particular dress in a color I’d never wear, I like what you did with it and I think it actually looks great! I think your creativity sets you apart from Julia Powell, who was your inspiration. And boy, you’re so good and articulate on TV! I think you should have your own show. I’d definitely watch it!
OK_Jack

Your experience reminds me of the story”Something from Nothing” You have a vision to see what can be. It is evident that when times are tough, the tough get going. I wish more young people could see that new designs can be made from quality fabrics.
Alexandra Mason

Great to watch you at the show! xx

You go, Marisa! Your creativity and sparkle amaze me. You are an inspiration to people everywhere who may be stuck and need to think sideways. keep it up!
Karen Embree

Oh yeah, I see a book in the making. I’ll be first in line for the book signing. And how about your own cable show? Yeah, I have plans for you Marissa. You have created something so powerful here! Keep it up. I am huge fan and am following in your footsteps in my own small way. http://sewcreativewithkaren.blogspot.com/
Laurenszymonik

So adorable!!!!! The camel coat is perfect! p.s. I miss NY.
Jandre411

Marisa, this was a fantastic interview, I loved seeing a bunch of your dresses together. You have inspired so many people to look at thrift stores and yardsales in a new way, and to just go for it and see what “you” can do. J. Andre
Jessica in Portland, OR

Great interview. The thing I am consistently inspired by in your posts is that you are always celebrating the good things in your world! Whether that is a cup of DD coffee, an evening in front of the TV with good friends, or an excuse to nosh at a certain icon of poultry fast food… you are always smiling and it brightens my day! I am so glad to have been able to peek in on (almost) a year in the life of such a positive and inspiring woman. I cannot wait to see what the rest of the year (and hopefully the many, many after that) hold for you!

Jessiejack

You really nailed it Jessica! – I do love the dresses and the before/after pictures but what really keeps me coming back is Marissa’s personality and outlook. She does enjoy the little things in life and it reminds me to do the same. The witty comments and discussions are great!

Bruh boaretto

Congratulation, you deserve this! Your dresses are incredible. thanks for sharing. i wish we could have 1 buck dress here in Brazil! AMAZING!

I am THRILLED for you, Marissa! All good things! And I hope some network realizes what you have and you get some awesome show or something…
Rainnkenyon

Amazing. You are so well spoken as well as creative and resourceful. Thanks for sharing your work and vision and showing how great it can be to be green.

Love the dress, love the interview. I really like the asymmetrical lines of the redo. Very, very cool!

This green dress was a fabulous transformation, perfect for the TV interview. You were adorable. I’m so impressed. You’re a ROCK STAR!!! : D
Kmaver

When I saw the “before” I thought, “GAWD that is just AWFUL!” And when I saw the after I thought, “Wow! Adorable! Perfect for the interview!” I am SO impressed that you pull this off again and again! I don’t know what I’ll do to amuse myself at work after the next 40-some days are up. What new thing are you going to create for the next 365 days?
http://pulse.yahoo.com/_WAFNRC7SOWSJILA5RCVUQMZ2V4 Sara G.

As others have said, one of the things I’ve appreciated the most about your blog is that you are so positive, so joyful…noticing the little things in life to be happy about. The clothes you’ve made are amazing too, but your cheery outlook is really what makes this special.
Joann

Congrats, Marisa! I am a dear friend of Lisa Gopman and she told me about your blog awhile ago and I’ve been following you ever since. It is so wonderful to watch your journey from afar and see where creativity and a vision can take someone. Well deserved! xo, Jo Ann
Allyson

This one is officially my favorite. Very chic!
Patsyanne1828

Happy Belated Marisa! I recorded the Early Show, but was frustrated when I had audio but no visual! Grrrr! I was, however, able to view your segment online Tuesday (today). Well Done! Yahoo! I loved the variety of dresses that were featured on the show on Monday. I bet you never expected your project to blossom into this! You were my inspiration for FINALLY getting that new sewing machine! Thank you!
Dawn Lowe

Seeing you on the early show and your previous comments about storage made me think you should open an etsy shop and sell your dresses and shirts that you don’t want to keep.

Also great job on the Early show. Love the green dress.
Jazz

Marisa, i am so happy for you! Congrats on all the awsome things that are coming your way! I am a big believer that you get back whatever you put out there in the universe…and your positive adittude and just all around cherry awsomeness is why you will continue to reep all the wonderful fruit life has to offer!

Love the dress! Really pretty! great color on you..and the nude heels…perfect!
Tricia

You are absolutely wonderful. Been following you for a while, but have never posted. Seeing you on tv was awesome. Keep up the creativity! Thanks for sharing your adventure!! Tricia

Oh this is such a lovely, rich colour and you made it look so luxurious!
Judy in Kalamazoo

Congratulations on the show, Marisa! Yesterday I took my brand-spanking-new sewing machine to my first-ever sewing class. I told the others how I’ve never sewed but I’ve been inspired by your blog. One of them said, “She was on The Early Show this morning!”

I made a beautiful pillow case in class, then went home and mended two pillow cases, a slip, and two pairs of pants. Not exactly a dress a day (yet), but I never would have even THOUGHT about trying it before. THANK YOU!

so exciting! do you have an agent for this kind of stuff or do they contact you directly through your page? also do they pay you for being on those shows? i would think the experience is payment enough but some extra $$ would be cool too

You’re just amazing. Last night I was also inspired to change this $1 dress into something gorgeous. Thank you for being inspiration to many.

DebraLynn

Wow, what a great segment! You look so poised and pretty in your Dynasty-turned-Dynamite dress. I was completely stumped when I saw the “Before.” Then I put on my “Marisa Glasses” and knew the bottom ruffle would make a hasty exit and that the sleeves would be shortened. I knew that your trademark V-neck would make an appearance, as well. How cool that it was already there…in the back!

Awesome “After,” and that color looks fahhhb on you. Props!

Love this dress! You make me want to do something like this myself. I wish I could find pile sales near me. I find dresses at thrift stores here at about 4-10 dollars each. I am lucky that they usually fit well. Found a great one for 2 dollars the other day. Looks like one of your “afters” I really want to find one and chop it up and change it though. The moo moos are my favorites.

I know its been said but this blog and your journey is truly inspiring, everything about it, the price, the amazing transformations and the dedication, ive decided to definitly try this out, ure too awesome :]

Congrats on the Early Show and all your success! I have followed your blog for awhile now and just want you to know you are so talented! Your blog is one of the first I check each day! I wish I had even half of your talent, fashion sense, and vision. Don’t know if you are a BBQ fan or not, but you aren’t far in LA from my uncle’s place at Hermosa Beach – Pinkie’s BBQ. If you ever get a chance to go there, tell Steve his niece Ann sent you and he’ll hook you up! Can’t wait to see what you make next!

Oh how wonderful what a great segment~!

Wow wow wow!! Congratulations! thats so exciting!! When they showed the dresses through the year, I remembered getting an email for each one, thinking how fantastic your creations were!! The dress you redid for your friend’s wedding was one of my favourites too
Throughout watching the video I kept thinking how much, like you said, the dresses looked like they were set up for a boutique! maybe you could do that: set up a shop and sell your recreations! If I’m in the near, I would definitely stop by and pick something up! definitely something to think about!
sucks to hear you don’t sleep much, but day 366 you can just relax and sleep! yay!!
keep up the awesome creations! I look forward to a new email for some 40 days more!

P.S. maybe they’ll make a movie about you too!

Thank you so much for inspiring people. Losing your job can be devasting and paralyzing. I think it is important for people that it is possible to re-create dresses and your life!

I really enjoyed your interview on The Early Show. And, it’s been so much fun, and such an inspiration to catch what you have been doing with “old” clothing, making them new. I already wrote one e-mail to you, but am not sure I did it correctly, so again- congratulations on the new job, and the wonderful blog. I look forward to seeing more of your “work” that feels like “play”, you make it look so easy! Christie F.

your website is amazing and you’re wonderful, but you’re not nearly as big as other (lesser!) fashion bloggers out there due to very small and mostly on-the-fly taken images. please consider better posed pictures or maybe even someone helping you photograph yourself so you can ascend to greater heights – we want only the best for you!
