Welcome, Dear Friend, to Day 1 of my year-long challenge to create something new every day!
You can’t see this in the pic above, because I wash everything before I let it touch my tender skin, but the skirt was covered in coffee stains! The pic below is pre-wash.
My inspiration for what I did next came from The Sartorialist.
I love this look! Do you see that awesome brooch on the waist of her skirt? Do you see how her skirt is completely sheer except where the dress she’s wearing under the skirt (I’m assuming that’s what I’m seeing here) shows? I decided to mimic this a bit.
Next, I hemmed the lining’s raw edge, and pressed my new hem.
Unlike that svelte blonde above, I didn’t have a very large brooch, so I took two of my favorites and pinned them to the waistline side by side.
The “3” is by local artist, Clark Ellefson!
My new skirt was perfect for a delightfully sunny July day!
Fantastic!! Looks really close to the inspiration picture and so fashionable right now. Wonder what colour the original is?
This is just so very awesome! I’ve been checking out your blog for a while now, after I refashioned my first few things so then I found your blog and it lead me to posting on refashion co-op. So I was just stopping in to inform you that you’re my idol.
