So my BEE-YOU-TEE-FUL older sister from my other mother got married two weeks ago. Good thing my nappy eyelashes reject mascara...not a doggone dry eye in the place.

This intimate shindig had a color scheme of blue and silver...blue and silver...the Amazon has one blue item in each clothing category none of which are appropriate (read: help her to avoid a beat down from mothers and siblings). On I went to Macy's. Found a dress, I swear I did. Unfortunately, the dress never made it's way into my heart so after 3 hours of sleep and a mad dash to Mood, Macy's and Ashley Stewart, I sewed up this darling doodad of a skirt in 30 minutes (Domino's ain't got JACK on me).
Please enjoy:

Good times for us all. :)

I followed you here from your Colette Blog post about 20s and 60s silhouettes. That is an awesome skirt! I can't believe you made it in 30 mins. Looks like a beautiful wedding!
ReplyDeleteThanks Donna!! It was a great wedding! :)The skirt was unbelievably easy to make (literally sewed up the two ends, folded over the top for elastic and VOILA! I would recommend hemming it though.:)
