We decided on a comfortable sweater dress refashioned for a dad's sweater.
I forgot to snap a picture of the sweater, was too excited to start remaking. It was a pretty simple refashion. When the dress was done, it was comfortable for sure, but sort of boring. It needed something special.
The embroidery came from Embroidered Effects. I love how it turned out. Just enough sparkle to make Ania happy.
A added small stitches around the neck to tie it all together.
Ania loves her new dress, but not the modeling outside in the cold. Poor child, suffering in the name of fashion. :)
very lovely, and of course the embroidery is very professional :) I also like the ribbon, it gives it a festive look!
ReplyDeleteOOh, I want that in my size! I love the pulled together look that a dress gives, as well. But-I also love the comfort of a baggy sweater. This look has everything, from the embroidery to the comfort, to warmth, and even the dress.
ReplyDeleteGreat job Momma!

I Love it! Your daughters "comfort and bling-bling" style totally reminds me of my sister! She's 17 and will still go out in her hello kitty footy pjs but with the "bling" all on. :D We've been doing the freezing poses too! I can't wait for the warmer weather! Great job again. The embroidery is lovely!
ReplyDeleteWay to compromise!! Looks like it will be getting more wear that way :).

Beautiful embroidery, the perfect touch!!
ReplyDeleteDarling dress. It's too bad the outside is the only place to get enough light this time of year. Spring is coming! I know it is.
