$5 V-Day Dress

I am quite proud of my simple $5 Valentine’s Day Dress. It started out as an after Christmas find at Walmart. (one of those compulsive buys… went to get TP and got sucked into the sale racks) And customizing it was fun and simple!

To take it from Christmas to Valentines was simple.

  • Switch out the plaid sash with a hot pink one. (upcycled from an old dress that Sedona has outgrown)
  • Added a little double heart rhinestone flourish to the top using my Silhouette and iRock from Imaginesce.
  • Pair with white tights to lighten the look.

Simple, inexpensive and so cute. She will wear this till it starts to get warm. Once it does, I think I will upcycle the fabric into some little velveteen bags for the holidays.

Be sure to leave a comment for another chance to win one of the prizes listed in the previous post! Winner announced Monday evening.

    I need to start using my silhouette for more than just cutting… Great idea :D

    Wow, what talent! If only my “just-turned” 3 year old daughter would wear dresses.
