1960's wardrobe

If any of you read my grandma's blog, she had talked about how she was fixing some cloths for me for the musical (Bells are Ringing) that I am in. She had promised a fashion show, so here it is.
This is my cha-cha outfit. In one of the songs, we all dance the cha-cha and all the girls were suppose to find a very full skirt. This skirt was once a dress, but my wonderful grandma cut the top of and transformed it into a skirt for me! I love this outfit because when I spin, the skirt poofs out and twirls around.

This dress will make an appearance in a fancy party scene. All we did was add the purple ribbon to it. We did not have to alter it at all. It fits perfectly! One of my friend's sister is letting me borrow the dress gloves.

This outfit is for an "ally" scene. We are supposed to be "bookies". They wanted the outfit to be plain and rough. I think this will do the trick.

This outfit is for a party scene in an apartment. I found these great tapered leg pants. All they needed was a crease so my grandma sewed them in for me. (If you were wondering, I will have shoes on for the musical! )

This outfit is just a fun skirt-shirt outfit. I love the polka dot skirt!

This is another skirt-shirt outfit.

So there you have it! A 1960's wardrobe for the musical Bells are Ringing. I want to thank my grandma for all the work she did to make these outfits just right. Love ya Grandma!

Excited!

Last Saturday I went shopping with my mom. As we were shopping I saw this dress and I thought I would try it on just for fun. Then, after I had tried it on, I fell in love with it so I bought it. I have not had a dress since I was like 8 or 9 years old. I am really excited!!!

I think it is absolutely adorable. It's made out of this great polka dot fabric and a has a little red cardagan to go over top.

It is slightly big, so all I have to do is take it in on the sides a little bit. That won't be hard to do!
