Wow! Also love the green belt with it.</p> <p>Ok, now I've decided that I MUST have my own mannequin. I've looked into "duct tape" forms that you make from your own body. I'm totally intrigued by that idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148868 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 22:51:35 +0000 Angie 148868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hectically creative has good connotations. Splendid outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148764 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:46:25 +0000 AJ 148764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - I was translating "hectically creative" as visually chaotic but creative. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148688 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 14:17:51 +0000 Angie 148688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not at all, AJ. Does that seem the case with my comment? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148596 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 06:14:00 +0000 AJ 148596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taylor, I'm glad your mannequins don't have heads because that would freak me out having those eyes looking at me all the time! LOL! </p> <p>You have room to fit two dressed mannquins in your closet??!! OK, when April gets this closet thread going, I'm going to have a fun time seeing all these lovely closets that I have imagined in my head! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148593 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 05:54:09 +0000 taylor 148593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha...AJ I have a full(headless) mannequin and a half(upper) body mannequin that I keep dressed in my closet :)</p> <p>They just might make an appearance in the closet thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148592 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 05:47:53 +0000 AJ 148592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You guys are gonna laugh...I have a sewing maching AND a dressform, but do I use them to make my own clothing? NOPE. I did make myself two dresses long ago but it took so long and I hated finishing the seams.</p> <p>I do think I would like to break out the machine again and try making my regular jeans into skinnies like Queenie demonstrated. Plus there are many examples on the web on how to add a little DIY to plain cotton tees.</p> <p>But the dressform...that baby gets used all the time for all my styling whims. I keep it in the corner of my bedroom, next to the window and it always has some newly styled remix outfit on it complete with jewelry, purse and shoes. Funny, I never cared for dressing dolls or playing dress up as a kid. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148544 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 04:04:05 +0000 cciele 148544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you blow me away with your creativity! The dress looks really different each way you styled it. Bravo!</p> <p>I never thought to use my dressform like that. Hmm... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148463 Tue, 27 Apr 2010 01:09:02 +0000 AJ 148463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, does that mean there was too much going on visually for your sensibilities? : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148426 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 23:45:18 +0000 Angie 148426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are hectically creative and I applaud those juices flowing through your pretty veins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148394 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 23:18:02 +0000 Carole 148394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How much fun, you have a dress form, I want one! You did a great job fashioning all the different sets, I love each and everyone, and would love to see you in them all.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148385 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:51:47 +0000 puffenstuff 148385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love all of them AJ - particularly the girly with edge. I like the way you can make so many different looks just from 1 dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148383 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 22:48:30 +0000 AJ 148383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Thanks all! I can't believe how many like the girly with an edge look. I thought you all were going to laugh at that one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148364 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 21:31:44 +0000 chellebrate 148364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I cannot wait to see these on you. You are so good at getting mileage out of individual pieces in new ways. When I thought girly with an edge was my fav, beachside shopping hit me in the face. Then the green belt on ladylike makes me change my mind all over again. I honestly cannot pick a fav. All three are winners!</p> <p>Note to self: Keep on eye on AJ's posts to steal ideas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148346 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:40:05 +0000 Boof 148346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are a wardrobe genius. :o) I'm all over the beachside shopping look, because that's where I'd like to be right now! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148336 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:24:30 +0000 April 148336@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>AJ, I hope you're feeling brave enough to post photos when I start The Closet Thread, because I am *dying* to see your wardrobe all together... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148334 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:18:06 +0000 rae 148334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG. I've wanted to make a dressform to sew with for a while, but held back because I didn't know where/how to hide it when not in use... I never thought about leaving it out and dressing it up! This is awesome, and I love outfit #2!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/1-dress-3-ways#post-148332 Mon, 26 Apr 2010 20:11:56 +0000 Dusty 148332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What great outfits!

Inspiration is brewing with my Old Navy striped dress and I just had to show you all!</p> <p>1) Beach side shopping<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4555566190/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....otostream/</a><br /> I couldn't resist this bag! The crinkly and silk-like feel of the fabric, the color, the pattern, the bohemian styling...it all screams summer!! (Target $15)</p> <p>2) I'm not sure what to call this look...girly with an edge?<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4554936783/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....otostream/</a><br /> When I belt this dress, it gets too short, so I added my white eyelet skirt underneath to bring the length back to my knees.<br /> Close-ups:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4554937603/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....otostream/</a><br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4554938269/in/photostream/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....otostream/</a><br /> What do you think of it with the heeled patent oxfords?</p> <p>3) Ladylike<br /> Some of you have seen this already.<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/wearabouts_town/4548196945/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/w.....548196945/</a></p> <p>What do you think? </p>
