Spring Fever

Winter's fashionably late appearance has been nothing but inspiring for my spring collection.  Until last week, I was convinced that New England was skipping a season this year.
I fell in love with the material of this vintage men's rugby shirt, it looks so elegant converted into a dress!



I've been playing with embroidery, and trying to compliment the frilly doily collars.

Spring 2012 Preview

For a portion of Where's Spring line, I plan on making many dresses out of vintage and second hand men's shirts, and continuing to experiment with the style of dress that emerges.


This one is enchantingly frilly...


The doily collar and lace trimmings are antique; the doily was collected and the lace inherited from a family member way down the line.


Believe it or not, this used to be a Tiger Woods for Nike Golf Championship shirt, ha!  Nice print Tiger, it's a splendid material, too.
