Dorothy dress - I won a giveaway! :)

Guess what!!!! :D I won this amazing dress in a random giveaway! Amber @ Ruffles and Roses was having a giveaway on her blog. I was picked by random, and I couldn't believe it! ME - I won a handmade dress! It's called Dorothy and was inspired by "The Wizard of Oz", I think! Check out the freakin' blue gingham... how cute, right? Amber made this dress by re-fashioning a white tanktop and sewing a white elastic band to the waist and a gingham skirt. She made the adorable bow on the shoulder too.

Okay, so where's my basket? Has anyone seen it? Did Toto just take a dog crap in the Wicked Witch's castle? Am I melting in this ninety degree summer heat? Does any of this even matter when you've got a cute Dorothy dress on?

Okay, I didn't have any yellow brick roads nearby... so I had to settle on a cloudy, WINDY day against a depressing brick wall at my house.

As soon as I got Amber's package open, I stripped down to the granny panties and tried on my new Dorothy dress! It fits perfect! :)

I wore a vintage black slip underneath that was just the perfect length.

It's the stitched ruffles on the tanktop you're staring at, right?

Then, of course, Tin Man! You can totally buy me a drink!

I'm so happy about winning this dress, and I want to thank Amber for giving me the chance at one of her giveaways. Thank you so much, Amber!!! You are the sweetest. And I loved the card too <3


If you're interested in making your OWN dress like this... get your glittered red heels over to her TANK DRESS TUTORIAL! I would love to make one of these. They're so cute, and re-fashioning clothes is always FREE! ;) Great for my old tanktops that need a makeover. Looks like summer is going to be here for a loooooong time. And a girl needs some new clothes on the cheap, o-kay?

I just finished sewing a dress from pattern. Pictures are coming, just let me charge up my camera's batteries and beg my husband to take photos!
