E has an upcoming school field trip to Tommy Guns Garage in Chicago. The kids have been studying the 1920s and her class has been told they need to dress as characters from the '20s for the field trip.
I'd been searching for a 1920s style dress, or something that could be transformed into one. Last week at the Economy Shop, two of my fellow volunteers searched through items with me. We stumbled upon a big blue skirt that they said could easily be made into a dress. (Easy for them, maybe.)
Today, E and I went over to the fabric store and lucked out by finding silver fringe for 70 cents a yard - regularly, $6.99. We came home and pinned everything. Andy sewed it all together. We are pretty pleased with the final product.
