Vintage Rose Wrap Belt

I was too lazy to make Bexley a rockin' 4th of July dress this year, so I used Kiki's idea for the rose wrap belt and added it to a denim dress. So easy and SO cute!!!

Easter Dress

Peekaboo photos is one of my very favorite photo sites and inspiration for outfits and accessories I want to try for Bexley. I've seen these skirts in her pictures several times and always wanted to make one for Bex.

I had every intention of making Bexley's Easter dress this year with these skirts in mind, but couldn't find the motivation when the time came. So instead I took this dress that was just a hair too short and made it work.

I just added a slip, basically, and sewed ruffles on the back half and add a couple of ruffle layers on the front to add the length. Then I cut an opening in the back to show off the ruffles. Last, I sewed a strip of ribbon around the entire base of the top layer skirt to finish it off.

When Kiki and I got together a few weeks ago we were sharing our ideas for our girls' dresses and had the same idea, I couldn't wait to see her's from complete scratch. And she did not dissapoint! Check it out here.

VOTE!

My friend Kiki is a contestant in "Crafting with the Stars" (surprise, surprise, she's amazing!). Voting ends tonight at 10pm MST. It's supposed to be anonymous, but considering I gave her the shutters almost three years ago waiting to see what she'd do with them...I knew immediately which project was hers, so there's a hint for everyone else!
Vote here.
Good luck Kiki!
