Vanessa's NDAD Creation

Hey friends! I'm going to be posting a little more sporadically and at some weird times over the next handful of days because I'm heading on a trip to Bali! Trying to have my own little Eat Pray Love adventure, if you will! Not heading to Italy for pasta, but I will be getting my fill of banana pancakes while in Indonesia. Make sure to follow Instagram/Twitter for real-time photos, however all my fun DIYs planned for while I'm away, because you know I'm going to be crafting beachside, will get posted once I'm back. Teaser pics will be on IG! (PS, and anyone with fun recommendations for Bali or Bangkok (because I'm definitely hitting Chatuchak Market while in Asia), keep me posted! I have some fun spots planned, but would love to hear any must sees!) New Dress A Day - DIY - vintage dress - floral print - thrift store shopping

Today's piece is a super fantastic one, submitted by Vanessa. I need to make this for myself immediately!! Check it out...

The shirt was a hand me down (and 2 sizes too big) and the skirt I picked up at a garage sale because I liked the print. After trying on the skirt I realized it just wouldn't work the way it was. There was too much fabric for my frame (read: it made my butt look big).

I had the blue dress in my closet and I liked the way it fit so...

...I used it as a pattern to make my new dress and 2 became 1. (cue Spice Girls;) lol

PS: I made the necklace from an old belt!

PPS - anyone who uses a Spice Girls reference is a total A+ in my book!! PPSS - you look amazing!!  PPPSS - that floral print is beyond. I need that in my life somewhere :) Can't wait to see what you come up with next!
