When I was at Goodwill this past weekend, I did have a specific item {or items} I was looking for. Amazingly enough I found exactly what I was looking for!
Gorgeousness in tulle and cream! The detail is just as lovely.
Here is another one in white. A satin and tulle confection!
The skirts are what I’m really interested in.
The last one. Not as “fluffy”, but the right color and enough skirt.
If you’ve stuck with me this long, let me assure you that this is not turning into a fashion blog. {Although, I do love that first dress and it just happens to be my size}! Enter a plain, old decorator table that I have had stored in the basement.
My daughter wants a “ruffley” table to use in the baby’s nursery area of their apartment. I had the table. A tablecloth like she envisions can cost a lot of money; store bought or custom.
And so, my outside-of-the-box idea was born.
This is the first dress pictured above. Our favorite so far. As the other two are white, I told my daughter we can work the two of them into a crib dust ruffle.
Of course, a little cutting and sewing is involved {and some hot gluing and stapling, I’m sure}. That lovely bodice will have to come off and will either be saved or reworked into a flat tabletop piece. The little floral embellishment my daughter would like to work in.
Fluffy and feminine! All for $16.99 for a Nine West dress from Goodwill. Gotta love it! I can’t wait to show it to you all done.
