{wardrobe wednesday} dress restyle

hello! the WW theme for this month is handmade so...
here's a restyle i did this week using a dress and striped top (both thrifted) in the same way as this dress
while i liked it as a dress, my 'point-of-bust' was never gonna be where it was supposed to be (the dotted white line is where the tie belt was. mmhmmm...)
initially i was concerned about making this high waisted having a post-baby belly. turns out i should've been more concerned about the post-baby twins. woah~! yeah, will probably wait a bit before wearing this out in public...i wouldn't want any Fonterra shareholders to get nervous about the competition. /wink.

i added an adjustable (positive thinking!) belt with a bow to cover the seam where i joined the top to the skirt.
ps say hello to Dee*Luxe Doll #2.

  9. Woah dee - you are gorgeous! Looking absolutely beautiful in these shots. I've lived in high-waisted skirts since I had Poet; they've made me feel wonderfully feminine and with a singlet/tee on top it's an easy breastfeeding outfit. As for those dolls....swoon! x
