A NO-sew dress

“Making the simple complicated is commonplace; making the complicated simple, awesomely simple, that's creativity.” ~ Charles Mingus


After finding the bottom stand of my Grandma's old dress form, the Little Lady asked if she could dress her up. I thought she would just go get a couple of dress-up dresses. Instead she got out 5 yards of material and began cutting a no-sew outfit.





















I came in to check on what she was doing ever now and then.
After about 10 minutes, I found her primping a scarf.






















Then, later, adding ribbon to secure the skirt to the top. 


I am loving that square collar. Take note fashion industry!





















She took the the dress form up to her room after putting everything away.
Except that she forgot a piece of paper.  Just as I was about to throw the thing away, I looked down to discovered her drawing inspiration. She had pretended to make directions and a pattern!

    How cute is this!!!!! I used to have the top half of a mannequin in my room growing up, which I accesorized and dressed to my heart's content. The Little Lady is on to something here! Please let her know the dress is beautiful. Love this post.
