I have been working on this little project for quite some time now and am thrilled with how it has turned out !! Formally this dress had sleeves, a matching belt and made me look super matronly in 1950's style. But after a little Mad Men and Barbie Doll inspiration, I decided to try to similarly replicate Betty Drapers Barbie Doll Dress with the matronly dress as a base. I removed the sleeves and created a silk cumber bun - and look at the difference !! So happy !!!!
Absolutely stunning dress!! So cute, I love it! It looks really great on you:)
ReplyDeleteI love it--you did a great job restyling this dress!

ReplyDeleteOh my god that is just gorgeous!!! WOW so perfectly summery. Love it :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks guys !! Was lots of fun, and I am so glad I will be able to wear this dress now....it's been sitting in the cupboard for a couple of years and not getting worn !! Dont you just love watching Mad Men - so much inspiration !!! Kisses XOXO
ReplyDeleteLooks amazing!
ReplyDeleteJust Gorgeous...I LOVE IT
ReplyDeleteWow! You did a great job with this dress. Now all you need is a drink in your hand and you'd look JUST like Mrs. Draper there.
ReplyDeleteThanks honey - I need to go back to being a blonde first, but the drink sure sounds good !!! I wonder if Betty's drink is a gin and tonic? It's mine !! I am inclined to think hers might be a mint julep :o)
ReplyDeleteCan we see it in B & W?
ReplyDeleteOh,my! How very cute, my Little Miss would love this just as much as me. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteIt looks fantastic! What a great idea. =D
