A party for Ms Juliet this morning. Her first real party and what a happy girl she was.
Some pics here with her requested rainbow cake.
Then onto some refashioning for me. I picked up this vintage maxi dress a couple of weeks ago from a vintage pop up shop where a woman was selling off her vintage clothes collection. I love the colours and the fit was lovely.
The long sleeves and high neckline were a bit too severe for me so I decided to make small capped sleeves and lower the neckline a little.
The sleeves came in handy for a wine wrapper and a vase sock. Wouldn't want to waste that awesome fabric.
Drool!! That dress looks amazing on you! I love it! I would want to wear it every day if I were you lol.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Miss Juliet! I'm so glad you had a party, and that you enjoyed the party, and that you had that gorgous cake!!! That's got to be the prettiest cake ever, right? All those pretty colors...WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the dress, too, and definitely love the way you changed the sleeves and neckline. Clever way to use up the leftover material, as well.

Thanks op shop mama ;-) It's a very cool dress. Won't see another like it around here.
ReplyDeleteJoyce, lots of food dye went into that cake! I love making the kids cakes but this felt weird because her birthday isn't until after Christmas so I'm still in Christmas mode. (And I do get a bit sentimental when making the cakes - unusual for me I know) I'll have to do another for her actual day but it was lovely for her to have a party with the great group of friends she has made this year.
