I am not a big fashion person... well secretly I guess I am but you'd never know it by what i wear. :) Last year, I bought two Maxi type dresses because of the heat here in the city... ok let me rephrase that. Because of the non-ac driven city I live in.
I know... its getting old, but seriously, it dictates your life.
Anyway... chasing rabbits today?
Maxi Dress.... I bought two last summer from H&M. I practically live in them this summer. They are so light and airy and comfortable.
I live on a very limited budget so buying new clothes is rare. While I was home, I was shopping in target when I found this:

Now, I think this looks great on some people but for me and my slightly curvy bottom half, it just was a tad too revealing. The funny part of the find was I grabbed it from the racks thinking it was a dress... just to get to the changing room and realize it was pants... Not a style I can pull off. Trust me.
So, I looked closely at the outfit and determined that I could re-create this but make it a dress.
Now, your first question is probably, "Can You Sew". Yes... ok well sort of. I am able and willing so I think i can make it happen....
So off I went with my Mom to JoAnn's in search of elastic thread, material and possibly a pattern. I found the thread right away. The material was a struggle and the pattern didn't exist. But I am determined to make it work. I looked up and practiced shearing.
I am still searching for some pieces to make it work but I am definitely determined.
I am slightly chomping at the bit to get those items in so I can get to work on it. Its a good thing I have been busy lately! In the mean time, I thought I'd show you the items that help inspire what I want to do.

I couldn't wear the jumpsuit either, but I adore Maxi dresses during the summer because of their versatility.
