Week In Feminine Dress- Day 1

I thought I would try to participate in the WIFD this go round. The top is from DownEastBasics, and the skirt, I threw together last week. I took the Tzunis wrap skirt idea and instead of making it full length, mine is about 30 inches long. Plus I sewed the skirt together so it isn't actually a wrap skirt, just a really twirly one. Then I put on a waistband, (it's too wide of one, note for next time) and threaded a drawstring through it.

Pink Princess was wearing her Easter dress today, but she spit up on it 2/3 of the way through church and I forgot a spare dress this week so she was in her onsie and bloomers.





So far so good. Hopefully I'll remember to keep this up and do pictures. :)

Lisa, it's actually stockings and high heels. I can see how they would look like boots from the pictures. :) If you ever see boots like that I'd love to hear about it because I'm on the hunt for cute non-winter/snow boots!

How pretty! I have never made the tzuni's wrap skirt because I'm afraid mine wouldn't come out - plus I've had bad experiences with wrap skirts. :) I like the idea of sewing it all together like that. Very cute!

Thanks Sarah. If you decide to do the wrap skirt and sew a seam in it, make sure you do a waistband on it. I did one without because I was in a hurry and it just doesn't hang as nicely.

Don't be afraid, I made one of those skirts with an extremely minimal amount of sewing knowledge and it turned out just fine. I've had horrendous experiences with wrap skirts so I was skeptical, but I adore this skirt as a wrap. Even little babies clinging on it won't disturb the wrap and you stay covered!
