Anne's NDAD Creation

Anne had a wedding to attend and she found just the perfect piece to remake.  Check it out...

You have inspired me!  I am going to a wedding at a winery in Temecula in a week and it is going to be HOT.  The colors in this Goodwill dress said "winery," so I bought it for less than $6.  When I tried it on, it was like  WOAH...Little Old Lady Time!  Even the girls were horrified...

Marisa says to remove shoulder pads, so I followed suit.

I didn't stop there...

I cut the underskirt off and turned it into a top.

I ended up making a b-i-g-g-g-g-g-g gather along the right side...

...and added a great suede skirt from a thrift shop to wear underneath, some new beaded sandals, and a Carlos Santana fringy purse to complete the look.

Ready to celebrate with a glass of wine!  Thanks for the inspiration!

PS, Anne sent in fab pics from her wine country wedding wearing her new piece and it's making me want to re-visit my little wine weekend getaway that I had last weekend!

Such a beautiful bunch of gals - nothing like a girls' weekend to enjoy some sips and celebrate good friends.

Thanks so much for sharing your piece, Anne!  I love that you saw vision in this dress - the fabric completely screams winery and it's so fantastic that you knew exactly what you wanted to do.  It looks like you had such a wonderful time.  Makes me smile :)  (And...awesome job removing those shoulder pads!!)
