Create This Look – Large Mint Glitter Floral Chiffon
Good Morning! I hope you had an awesome week. This week I was inspired to create a look based on the “Gambol In The Garden Dress” from ModCloth. They have apparently sold out of this dress, so you will just have to make it! 😉

Create This Look – Dusty Blue Damask Chiffon
This Week I was inspired by the “Be Outside Dress in Delft” from ModCloth.
I can imagine a beautiful parisian lady enjoying a lovely picnic in a park, wearing this dress. The fabric used to make the inspiration dress is a thicker cotton. I chose a lighter weight chiffon because of the print. If lined with our white poly cotton, the dress will look very similar.

The dress itself is pretty basic. Its the Read More...
