Different Style Same Dress



I made a dress for my daughter when she was really little. I found a stretch velvet shirt and a taffeta size 00 dress at the thrift store and combined them. It was when I lived in New York City and the fabric store was too far away for trips to often so I usually recycled clothes from the thrift store that was right down the street.

The fun thing about this dress is I gave it to my sister in law when my daughter outgrew it. But, about 3 months ago she gave me back all of the baby clothes that I had sewn for my daughter, and had let her use for her kids. My daughter need clothes for her my size doll and all of her baby clothes worked great. A couple of days later she came out of her room wearing this dress as a baby doll top with leggings. It fits her tight but it is really cute. So not only is she in style but it is really cute.
