to the blog world…
This week however I want to bring her back home,
and give the tutorial a more personal touch…
The thing about her is that she didn’t always look sooo chic.
I have people asking me all the time
“How do you always find
such good deals?”
Well… I think it has something to do with the fact that I see things
not as they are
but as how they could become…
I believe I learned such a gift from my Grandfather..
He always used to tell me…,
” Desi, love is not blind… it just sees the best in us”
Second, I removed the ugly sticks from the base.
My original plan was
to bleach the fabric… because I love roses.
Trust me I tried to do it BUT it didn’t work… for some reason it wouldn’t bleach.
My spontaneous plan B was to paint the fabric.
So I did. First black…
Third… It was time to put some of the original embellishments back…
They are so cute!
She went from Miss Lovely
to Miss Fabulous 😉
and from a forgotten shelf at Goodwill
to the front table at the entrance of my home…
…yep! she is lovely and she is wearing my grandma’s necklace… How cute is that!

Absolutely lovely – less is more – you have proof it beautifully!
Oh, I see these dress form things all the time and turn them down because they are so tacky. Whoever designs the store bought versions must not have taste.
Yours is very pretty, especially with the choice of accessories you used. Thanks for sharing!
