I was also a little confused about the ZA at first (pizza? haha) thanks to abc for clueing me in. I love the idea of upcycling. It might help me to use some of the clothes that I can't stand to get rid of but just don't wear any more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1647733 Thu, 21 Apr 2016 11:31:48 +0000 Ledonna N. 1647733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awe thank yo lisap for such kind words. I do go into costume land but I don't mind at all. The only good drama is the fashion kind. I love seeing all the YLF family and our individual fashion. I really love seeing style evolution and how Angie &amp;Greg and all of us creat a safe space here.</p> <p>Everyone is welcome and not just at the fashion table.</p> <p>Roseandjoan thank you I had to go and look at the pictures agin and decided to use them as my AfB page pictures. Thank you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1647435 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 22:49:22 +0000 Anonymous 1647435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First I was all : &nbsp;what is ZA? Then I figured that one out. But this dress!! A work of art indeed. &nbsp;I am so thankful you are active here on this forum again - your individual style is so unique yet authentic and somehow not &nbsp;overtly costume-y. &nbsp;I am in awe of everything I see, and to be such a skilled thrifter too. You bring a lot to the fashion table.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1647252 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 18:09:07 +0000 RoseandJoan 1647252@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is amazing, I love everything it represents. Great too that you can adjust the length.</p> <p>I'm also loving the poses, everything from dignified lady to retro pin up shines from your photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1647243 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 17:56:41 +0000 Ledonna N. 1647243@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally the artist already has ready made dress that she has in stock if you don't want to have one made.&nbsp; I love that each dress is a 1 of a kind.&nbsp; That actually happened to me once I walked into an event and had a pretty dress and 2 other ladies had the same one.&nbsp; Lord it was a small town .</p> <p>Colette Thank you</p> <p>ABC Don't worry I should have typed out the Word Zombie Apocalypse.&nbsp; lol<br />I really loved the dress before.&nbsp; I have 2 others in Yellow and Blue that were thrifted also.&nbsp; I really wanted this one to be unique.&nbsp; </p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1647136 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 12:58:43 +0000 abc 1647136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cool. Unlike me, who until about three posts above me was saying to myself, ZA, ZA, what the heck is ZA? Aaaahh... The zombie apocalypse! Slaps forehead. Off to make a pot of coffee with the hope that it helps clear the cobwebs in my brain, haha!! </p> <p>Super creative and really fits your style. Don't kill me but I liked the green dress before, probably bc i struggle to find dresses with sleeves. But you can't compare it to the finished product, head scarf and all. Fierce, as usual! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1647129 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 12:36:56 +0000 Colette 1647129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, a work of art. I would have never imagined the outcome to be so cool. Seems to really suit your style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1647081 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 09:54:24 +0000 Sally 1647081@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this. It really suits you.&nbsp;&nbsp; What a great idea to reimagine a dress.&nbsp; </p> <p>I have a morbid fear of walking into work or an event and I'm wearing the exact dress as someone else.&nbsp; That's why this is such a great idea...its totally original.&nbsp;&nbsp; I have got dressmakers to alter a dress I bought at the thrift shop but have never done this before...I'm tempted to try it now.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1646976 Wed, 20 Apr 2016 00:56:13 +0000 Ledonna N. 1646976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all the dress has so much volume I had to reign it in.</p> <p>I have all colors and types of knee high boots but I do like the tan also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/artist-upcycled-dress#post-1646917 Tue, 19 Apr 2016 22:57:07 +0000 jill58 1646917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the idea of reimagining clothing.

Not styled completely but I wear boots in the summers in The Chi. (No, I would not wear 2 different boots at the same time) I just wanted to give a visual.</p> <p>I'm picking her up tomorrow. I'm all about the reimagined recreated denim teeshirt dress. </p> <p>Her name is Oshun Bey and this is the 2nd dress she had reimagined for me.<br /> .<br /> I just wanted to share I got the text last night at 12 midnight. </p> <p>Another dress for the ZA world. </p>
