Little Girls Are Special


It's a beautiful gown with a flowing train of silk organza and a sheer overlay. Pearls and appliques were applied with the utmost care. No, I didn't buy this dress with the anticipation of a marriage proposal!I got it at a garage sale to use for the fabric! For some reason it's owner no longer felt a romantic connection to the dress with a $1 price tag! I envisioned using the sheer part to make chair skirts on one of my current projects. I took this photo to commemorate the dress before I dismanteled it into sections!
Here's how my vision turned out! It's a child-size table and chairs that's been transformed into a fairy-princess tea party setting! That wedding dress would have been boxed up in somebody's attic and most likely never to be seen again. But look at it now! All sweet and frilly little chair skirts! What little girl wouldn't LOVE to be the princess seated at this table? Isn't that what you always wanted to be? I know I did!
