as part of my sew-a-thon yesterday i not only made a new dress but finally got around to hemming multiple dresses to dangerously short lengths - a project i've been meaning to do for months now. see, i've come across a new blog (new to me anyway) that has re-ignited my desire to make 2009 the year of super short 60's inspired dresses and daring cat eyes:
check out i'm not antisocial to see what i'm talking about - you won't be sorry! she's awesome.
so here is one of the thrift store dresses that was originally a mid-calf, very pentecostal look that i guess i completely made ungodly by shortening the hem line as i did....
(but after reading this i am confused because it would seem that now i am more womanly and less manly and therefore doing right by the word of god....??? i've always been fascinated by the way pentecostal women dress and i always catch myself staring at them in the fabric store as they carefully pick out their patterns and fabrics.)
hrmmm - i dunno. i just like showing of my hot legs and bright tights. i don't think that makes me such a bad person.

yowza! you are a talented lady, i love this dress. please open an online store, i'll be your first customer.
xo-k.
Great work, I need to set my sights on a dress project.
Love this dress, it's such a pretty floral and the post-pentecostal length is perfection! Perfect with the blue tights too :)
we were given sewing machines, scissors, dresses that needed to be shortened and hot legs for a reason.
i high-five you for your effort!
also, that blog is AMAZING. i can't believe i haven't stumbled on it sooner.
