Fill it in!

I fell in love with this Tadashi dress and then TADA we found it for 75% off, had to get it, but it had to be modestified. There was a lot of netting and the sleeves were a little short for my taste. Here's some pics of the process.


The netting on the bottom before...

The netting on the bottom after! (this is the underneath)
We also could have just started from the top and put one big piece in, but we decided it would create a cleaner line to do 3 small pieces to fill in the netting rather than one big piece.
We also added length to the bottom tier to add length to the entire dress.


We added this to fill in and lengthen the sleeve.




The final product! I love this dress!

The Double Skirt

This was a favorite of mine on the mission...
Skirt too short? Just wear two!!!


It started quite the trend. I remember one of the sweet sisters came up to me and said "look Sister Hansen, I'm you!" and twirled around in her double skirt ensemble.

$30 Shabby Apple Dresses!

Come one come all! Shabby Apple's Trunk Show!!!

Yes, Shabby Apple is usually an online-only store, but this weekend is their TRUNK SHOW at Trolley Square!!!

Shabby Apple is a company started by a girl who was literally DUMPED for being modest. She decided she would embrace it!  http://mormon.org/athelia/

I LOVE Shabby Apple, but I'm always a little hesitant to buy online without trying them on.
Me, my sister, and my mom went and found some lovely deals! Most dresses were about $30 bucks (normally over $100) So we were very pleased!
Here are a few of our finds!!!


I LOVE this dress! It IS just a cotton dress, but I LOVE the yellow! We're thinking it's a little plain though, so we'll probably add a white band on the bottom.


This picture does NOT do this dress justice! Every girl that tried it on looked FANTASTIC!


I was nervous about this dress because of my pear figure, but it does a GREAT job makin' my waist look so tiny! No photoshop to make me look skinny here, just a great, flattering dress!




If you go to the SALE section on Shabby Apple, you'll see a lot of the clothes that were there. You can FB message me or email me and ask me about certain ones, I'll let you know if they're there. or at least if I saw them. 

Happy Shopping!
