This is the dress I wore to my beautiful, wonderful, only little sister’s wedding!  Her wedding was gorgeous with this lavender and green apple – she did a great job.

Needless to say, the dress is really special to me and I would like to wear it more often.  It’s just too much purple all at once to wear on a regular Sunday.  And, I was 8 months pregnant with my now-5 year old when I was fitted for the dress and it ended up being probably about a full size too big.

I think I would like to repurpose or refashion it into something that I can wear, but I also have three daughters – if I can’t think of anything for me, maybe something for them would be cute, too.

If the idea is clothing, bottoms must be skirts since it’s all I wear and tops have to be completely modest (short sleeves are okay but sleeveless is not).

So, what ideas strike you?  I’m excited to hear what all you other crafty people can come up with – I obviously haven’t been able to figure anything out in five whole years!!
