from boring 2 beautiful...

So, I bought this dress on clearance awhile back, knowing that I needed to do something with it since it was just too short (for me anyway!), but I loved the dress...




I found some fabric to go with it and it laid around for, well, until tonight. Despite the fact that I have a ton of things to do before we head to the OBX this weekend, I got the crazy notion in my head to try and get it done today.

A couple hours later, with multiple interruptions such as stopping for supper, bathing the kids, getting them in bed, phone calls, etc, I now have THIS!



The sash is not attached, just pinned in place for the picture--hence the unevenness. Although, the empire waistline does curve up in the middle... I'm really liking it!

Thanks to a great friend for getting my creative bug going today! (you know who you are :0) )

Oh, and just in case the question enters your mind....NO, it is not a maternity dress!!!

cute! are you going to attach the sash somehow? I like the black in all three places...it ties it all together.

And...i don't think it looks maternityish....but i guess it would work for awhile if you needed it!
