My bloggy good friend Carrie, the innovative supermom behind This mom Makes Stuff, published this eco-amazing hack on her blog a few weeks ago: convert thrift store 80s prom gowns into princess gowns for your bit fantasy lover.
I always hit my children’s resale shops at the beginning of October as well as once again after Halloween to keep my children’s bountiful gown up collection going. I have observed, like Carrie says, that it is harder to discover dress-up gear for sizes above 4T. This solves that problem.
If you online in an costly area where thrift store costs are not really less expensive than huge box stores (I’m taking a look at you, San Francisco!) pass this tip along to your little town-based mother-in-law. even much better if she’ll do the sewing, too.
Since Carrie has mad stitching skills, she most likely took in the side seams in addition to shortened the hem as well as sleeves, however I’m sure a few raw edges would not bother many bit kids.
Do any type of of you have bridesmaids gowns hanging in your wardrobe that you may utilize for your child or a niece to play tea celebration in?
