Thinking Ahead into the Past
According to the group in charge
of the Pet Community Fund Raiser
they will be doing it again next yr.
The group got together and discussed
what they could do differently and
how it could be made to run
smoother.
On that, they also decided on the
theme of the fund raiser.
French Masquerade!
Thinking ahead I started
surfing the net for dresses
and what they would look like.
I came up with several but my mind
kept saying, make it easy to
produce.
This I was thinking would be crazy
for me to even think about.
Actually, this one below would be
easier.
This one I pulled for the fabric.
Trying to come up with what
would work.
Satin seems to be a biggie
with the dresses.
But my thoughts kept going back
to this one.
The top looks easier but the bottom
is what I loved. No ruffles. I was thinking
I could locate a long white skirt and
for the center part and then work
from there.
Then today, my friend Theresa and
I had lunch up near my brothers
house (house sitting). We went
to the local Goodwill after lunch.
I went in and in less than 5 mins I located
this!
How cool is that?
Thinking since the top is tight...and I
can't zip it but the bottom is
the skirt part I need.
And look.....
a netted skirt thingy to make
it stand out.
Then I saw this...
black lacy netting thing.
Check out the top of it...
loving the buttons.
I also have a cute camisole
type top that I used to wear with a open
shirt over that top....I think it will
got nicely. Putting it all togehter
with a little altering and operating I
should be able to produce a cool
French type dress for a Masquerade
party!
Next will be to get a plastic mask
to paint and decorative with beads, jewels,
glitter and feathers!
Thinking I will be making that in
purple and adding some
purple somewhere on the dress.
Now is that not thinking ahead?
HAHA
I had intended on stopping by Goodwill
every week in hopes of finding something
close to what I needed but never in my
life did I think I would find it on my first
trip....
oh, and by the way....$9.99
for the dress.
$4.49 for the lacy top part.
Thinking things will work out great!
Thanks for stopping by,
PS....Dakota is waiting for you to stop by his blog.

These dresses somewhat reminded me of the fifth grade, when we did the Minuet. How fun that was with the dresses and hoops; the powdered wig not so much. :)

Happy end of October days, Pam.
