Reader's Choice Winner

Wednesday, November 3, 2010

The people have spoken and the results are in!
The first Reader's Choice Winner is the Ruffled Plaid Dress.


I dearly love the idea of this dress and am super excited about wearing my own version!
Stay tuned...it'll be posted before you know it!

Also, as you know, I'm neck deep in red silk; crazy busy working on this wedding, so if you have a request about seeing a particular piece or just a certain color featured in a Making It Work post, e-mail or just leave it in a comment. I really need you to do my thinking for me right now, 'cuz I'm having a hard time thinking about much of anything outside of tulle and hand-ruching!
And for those you who've asked to see a tutorial on how to hand-ruche a piece of fabric, I'm working on getting that together.

Introducing: Reader's Choice

Friday, October 22, 2010

I am continually recreating beautiful things for so many different reasons:
  • I liked the design, but not the color
  • My wallet said no to my fondest desires
  • The fit was off
  • I was pregnant when it was available
  • I missed out on it for some other reason
  • To challenge myself
So, this week I happened to think, if I'm going to be doing this anyway, why not let my readers decide what I reinterpret next?

Ruffled Plaid Dress

Elevenses Pearl Overcoat

Hudson & Houston Dress

Bold Boutonniere Dress

These are four pieces I'm dying to reinvent, and it doesn't really matter to me which comes first, as long as they eventually find they're way to my closet.
In keeping with Voting Season, I've decided to let you vote for which piece you want to see next. Keep in mind I may change the color or design a bit to fit what works for me and what I need in my wardrobe (need used very loosely here, tee, hee...) .

I'll be posting a survey in the sidebar, which will be open for the next couple weeks. The item with the most votes by November 1st will be fair game for reinterpretation!
Happy Voting!

I've answered some questions I've been getting via E-mail in the video clip below.
