First thing I did was remove the black petals and sash and tossed these dresses in the wash. They still had spots on them from the one and only time they had been worn, but a little chlorox and borax did the trick. I purchased some remnant fabric for $2.50 at JoAnn's to make the sashes and yellow and purple flowers (about $5) from Dollar Tree for the skirt. I took the flowers apart and dropped them in the skirt and ran the fabric through my sewing machine. This is what I came up with. |

I had a few flowers that were purple with yellow centers. Those I hot-glued onto a large safety pin and made the flowers pinned to the sashes. Voila! Winter dresses remade for summer. The girls are so excited to wear them in a few weeks, and I'm pretty proud of how they turned out. Hope you enjoyed the pics! |
Update: The girls did a great job at the wedding. No dumping of baskets, no singing and dancing during the service. They walked down the aisle, dropping flower petals as they went. My only critique? Perhaps they were being a bit TOO diligent at their duties: it took Claire several minutes to get to the end, perhaps making the bride even MORE nervous, but at least she left a perfect path of petals for the beautiful bride to follow.
