Create This Look – 2 Tone Chiffon – Mango
Happy Monday! I’ve been waiting for ModCloth to restock this dress, but I’m impatient, so I going to share it with you now! ;P The dress is called “Marvelous In Manhattan.” This is such a super cute style, so fun for spring.
I chose our 2 Tone Chiffon, but I went with a Mango color instead of this Coral color. We do have a coral color that is really similar, but we have more of the Mango color in stock. Read More...
Create This Look – Poly Lace – White
Good Morning! This week I felt inspired by the “Nuanced Narrator Dress in Navy” from ModCloth. This dress is so classic. It’s a great style for almost any occasion.
In order to create this look I have chosen three different fabrics. The first is a beautiful floral 100% polyester lace. It features a very pretty delicate floral pattern overall. Most of the time I photograph the fabrics on a white table but since it is so difficult to see white on Read More...

Create This Look – Small Ethnic Diamond Lightweight Poly
Happy Monday! Can you believe its already February?! The “Charmer In Charge Top” from ModCloth was my inspiration this week. This is a pretty basic top, but we have a very similar print so I decided to share it with you.
I am pretty sure this is the exact same fabric. It is a lightweight 100% polyester fabric that has a really nice weight. Not only is this fabric great for this particular type of garment, you can also use it Read More...
Create This Look – Floral Eyelet – Ecru
Good Morning! This week I was inspired to share the “On Your Roam Time Tunic In Aviary” from ModCloth.
The fabric I chose for this look is a beautiful printed eyelet I ran across quite a while ago. I loved this fabric from the moment I saw it. It comes in two slightly different shades. One is printed on an Ecru background, the other is pure white. Both of them are so soft & feminine & perfect for this tunic.
This is the Read More...
Create This Look – Crepe Gauze – Denim
Happy Monday Everyone! I just finished updating our crepe gauze inventory & eventhough its still pretty cold I felt inspired to share this dress with you. This weeks inspiration dress is called “Window Shopping Chic Dress” from ModCloth. Unfortunately ModCloth no longer has this dress. I guess it was popular.

If you live locally, you know that F&M fabrics has the best selection and pricing on dance fabrics in town! They have some great stuff online too, which you can see here.
Last summer, my daughter and I started taking a combo dance class and an adult beginner ballet class, respectively. After a few months of loving it, I thought it’d be fun to make some dance wear for us. Fortunately, I walked into the store as the black spandex was being Read More...
Create This Look – Bridal Satin – Seafoam
Good Morning! I was inspired by the “Pine All Mine Dress In Dusty Blue” by ModCloth. When I went to check the link for this dress I was disappointed to discover that they are out of this particular color. They do still have several colors & prints in stock just not this dusty blue.
I chose one of our beautiful Bridal Satins in what I call “Seafoam.” Our Bridal Satins are made of a thicker polyester & have a nice Read More...

Merry belated Christmas!!! I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas this year. Only a few more days left of 2015! Can you believe it?! Well this week I was inspired by the cold… & the “You Don’t Know Jackson Coat In Plaid” from ModCloth.
The fabric I chose is our Cardinal Poly/Wool Plaid. It is a lighter weight poly/wool, so if you live in a colder climate then I would recommend lining it. Fleece or even Minky would make a very Read More...
