swappy dresses

Saturday I was the "responsible adult" (you can
stop laughing now--you know who you are!)
while our eldest hosted a Redemption tournament.
It was the district tournament, but still not
huge, but the point is, I had 9 hours, a big
table, and plenty of counter space to spread
out and play. This resulted in some party
dresses for the aforementioned swap--scanned,
so the colors aren't quite deep enough, but
you'll get the idea.

little gold beads sewn on around the neckline,
bits of vintage doily, joss paper, gold emboss.


vintage purple bling and trim, plus glitter!
This one is more sparkly in person.


homemade collage paper, diamond buttons, ribbon


collage, stamped, iridescent stuff, gold trim.



ball gown! velvet ribbon trim, vintage button,
sheer fabric
