Mushrooms!!!! That was my first thought when I saw this dress. I saw it hiding on the rack at Goodwill and I had to have it – purely for the print if nothing else. I did a bit of altering to this dress before it ended up looking like this. It was originally floor length, with big, gigantic dolman long sleeves (super unflattering, may I add). For $4 it was totally and completely worth it. I went at it for about an hour at my sewing machine. The end result? A much more desirable length, and no more ugly sleeves. I made it sleeveless, which is much more suitable for Florida’s tropical climate. I’m still absolutely smitten by the print and the amazing ruffle collar on this dress. It’s just true love.
such a pretty thrifted dress! i wish i could find things as nice as that when thrifting!
You look great, and your shoes are really pretty!
at first I thought this was a top and I died… then i scrolled down and saw it was a dress and I came back as a zombie and then died AGAIN! haha, I love everything about this dress, you look so frickin’ stunning!

Oh Wow, Kirstin you look so gorgeous in this. That is one cool print! Nice find! I love how you saw so much potential in it even though it needed some altering. I would have never known you had to alter it though. You did a really amazing job! Also, that blazer is so perfect and I see that it’s thrifted as well. You have such a great eye! XO
You look absolutely gorgeous! xxx
Perfection indeed! You are so beautiful! I love what you did with the dress (the print is a-mazing) and am so very jealous of your sewing skills. I don’t get along so well with the sewing machine… tantrums and swearing tend to erupt when I try to use them.
That is such a gorgeous print! I love the classy monochromatic palette of this look. You look great!
Sincerely,
Sabrina

I don’t know how it looked before, but I love the dress this length on you. The dress and print looks great on you! I love that blazer as well.
Whoa! I am floored by your transformation skills! I wouldn’t have thought twice about this dress being a thrift store left behind. You’ve done wonders to it and are wearing it well!
This is a very Victorian-esque look! I love it, That collar is just so lovely! And the alterations look amazing! I need to spend more time altering clothes. I feel like I could do a lot to some things!
Ahh the mushroom dress! It came out so good- glad you kept the collar. It’s so unique!!
