Well, kinda. My friend Ashley requested that I create this dress out of some vintage wonder and then give it to her.
If only.

This shirt was a dress. I don’t have a before shot, but if you imagine what a hip grade four teacher would have worn in 1985, you get the idea.
My favourite thing about it? The tie-up sleeves.
This mirror’s from the Cross in Vancouver, by the way. The shirt/dress is from Deluxe Junk in Gastown. And the YSL belt is from Crossroads in Seattle.
though I do have the t-shirt. But boy oh boy, is there a lot of inspiration to be found on Dropsnap.jp.
After I posted about Hel-looks I got a bunch of emails from you guys saying how much you loved it. Dropsnap might be even more addictive.
That’s how my sister described the colour of my vintage skirt.
I don’t know how my cat Getty would describe it.
But I do know she’s not happy that I woke her up from her nap.
if this is a “before” shot or not. I found this dress at the Vintage Mall in Seattle and I may very well end up leaving it exactly as it is.
If I do end up going to Sasquatch at the Gorge this summer (and I really hope I do), this dress will be coming with me.
Take a look at other “befores” and my favourite “after” here.
The album art for Yeasayer‘s All Hour Cymbals got me thinking about scarves.
About how much I love them, how they can make the lamest outfit interesting and how my collection would rival your grandma’s.
Had this vintage dress altered and now it’ll be the perfect thing to wear to my friend’s wedding this summer.
Loved this dress when I first got it. Love it even more now that I’ve had it shortened.
The boots are my sister’s. As soon as she left for Thailand (or wherever she is right now) I raided her closet.
