This is my new favorite dress. My new favorite thing for summer is to buy DIY dresses from Etsy made of vintage sheets. You might see this dress a lot. I wanna wear it EVERYDAY!!! Even though the bust part is really bubbly and weird. OH WELL.
I wore this outfit to have lunch with Vivs a few weeks ago at the Ferry Building. It was the first time we had hung out outside of craft fairs. I heart her!
Fun Fact: I have a really ginormous phobia of my dress getting stuck to my butt and revealing my underwear. I often wear bloomers underneath my dresses.
Here’s an EXTREME CLOSE-UP to show the cute Little Miss Delicious necklace I adore. (p.s. I always wondered if polymer clay jewelry could survive the shower. This one can. Bonus for lazy people like me.)
Deets:
Dress: ShopEBV on Etsy // Necklace: Little Miss Delicious // Tights: Pamela Mann on eBay (p.s. I already busted a hole in mine by jamming my thumbs in too deep while putting them on at a later time. I’m a brute!) // Shoes: Doc Martens
Cute, cute, cute!
I’ve actually made a few mini frilly skirts with vintage 80s Care Bear, Rainbow Brite etc. sheets.
I used to have a Rainbow Bright sheets dress, but it was really just too small for me so I sold it :(. I miss it!
make one! you should always have one in your wardrobe… i still have some frilly elasticated care bear skirts for sale somewhere…
I don’t know how to sew yet!
start with a really simple pattern like a pillow case dress or a straight line skirt. real easy to follow patterns like simply are good 😉
also, diy-ing old t-shirts with fabric panels at the side are easy and fun to do x
I haven’t seen anyone wear Docs in forever! So rad! Bringin’ em back.
They’ll be around FOREVER! 🙂

FUN!!! Velvet Elvis needs to open up the Etsy shop soon!
OH MY GOODNESS I WANT THIS DRESS!!! i had this exact sheet/comforter set on my very first big girl bed… and yeah, i still carry the comforter around the house with me to cuddle up in.
Make a coat out of the comforter!!! 😉
that is the best idea, ever! thank you! the end is falling apart so it is definitely in need of some tlc and repurposing 🙂
your craft room is so ORGANIZED!!! <3
😛 Just that one wall. The other 3 walls are a disaster! 😛
Where did you buy your bloomers? They’re so cute! I have issues with my dresses riding up, and feel I need something underneath them too. 🙂
I got mine from an online shop that sells generic lolita clothing…but I can’t remember the name of the shop right at this second! It’s pretty popular for those looking for cheap lolita stuff!
