80's Dress Sewn Lace Cocktail.


Supplies: 80's dress turned Parisian cocktail.


 What I loved about this 80's dress was the pretty lace detailing, so I wanted to use that as much as I could for this one. 


Sleeves were sewn together to create the bodice. The collar line was the bottom of the sleeves.


I salvaged all the lace from the front, back bodice, and sleeves. The skirt of the dress was from the front and back of the bodice.


I added a beaded belt to finish off the look.

    So funny thing. I was reading back through these older posts and was amazed by this. Then, the next episode of Wings (TV show from the 90s that I am watching on Netflix) and the preview picture has two of the characters wearing the original dress. (Its the wedding episode in season six if you are curious!)

    Absolutely fabulous!!! Out of this world! The use of the edges both on the upper and lower sides of the dress is the best thing about it. I love all the posts in your blog, lots of great ideas! Thanks for sharing all that!

    كيفية اختيار شركة تنظيف مثالية
    هناك العديد من شركات التنظيف هناك ، والفرق بين شركة تنظيف كافية وسيئة وممتازة يحدث فرقا حقا. إذاً كيف تعرف أي أعمال تنظيف مهنية تستخدمها؟ هنا قائمة من 15 أشياء للبحث عنها قبل التعاقد مع خدمة التنظيف. بعد قراءة هذه القائمة ، سوف تعرف كيفية معرفة أي شركة تنظيف جيدة وأيها لا (قبل توظيفهم):

    1. الحصول على أسعار الأسعار من ثلاث شركات على الأقل.
    هناك عدة أسباب لذلك يجب القيام بذلك. ليس فقط لمعرفة أي شركة تنظيف هي أفضل الأسعار ولكن أيضا لمعرفة مدى وجود فجوة في أسعار نفس الخدمة. "قد تحصل على ما تدفعه مقابل" قد تكون مبتذلة ولكن هذا لا يجعلها غير صحيحة. في حين أن الاختلافات في الأسعار ليست كبيرة ، فمن الأفضل أن تذهب مع أي أعمال التنظيف المهنية التي تمنحك أقصى ضجة لجهودك. ولكن إذا كان التناقض في الأسعار مختلفًا بشكل كبير ، فيجب أن يخبرك ذلك بشيء ما وأن يعطيك سبباً للشك.

    أيضا عند السؤال عن أسعار الأسعار ، يوصى بالسؤال عما إذا كانت أسعار الأسعار تشمل كل شيء (المواد واليد العاملة) ومقدار خدمة تنظيف خاصة يمكن إضافتها إلى خدمات التنظيف التي يتم تقديمها.
    شركة تنظيف الشارقة
    2. اسأل كم من الوقت كانوا في الأعمال التجارية.
    هناك العديد من الشركات التي تأتي وتذهب حتى الأعمال التي تمكنت من البقاء في العمل لفترة قصيرة يقول شيء إيجابي عن شركة التنظيف. على الرغم من أن طول العمر ليس ضمانًا للعظمة ، إلا أنه يجب أن يكون عاملاً مهمًا. (بعد كل شيء ، كيف يمكن أن تظل الأعمال مفتوحة لسنوات عديدة إذا لم نكن راضين عن العملاء العائدين؟)

    3. أسأل عما إذا كانوا يضمنون عملهم.
    معظم الشركات تقول إن رضاك ​​مضمون ، ولكن ماذا يعني ذلك؟ هل يعني ذلك أنهم سيقدمون لك استردادًا إذا كنت غير راضٍ؟ من المهم معرفة ذلك قبل توظيف أي شخص للقيام بوظيفة لك (وخاصة تلك التي تضمن الرضا).
    شركة تنظيف مطابخ الشارقة
    4. اطلب قائمة المراجع.
    شركة جيدة سيكون لها عملاء مخلصين ومرتاحين. من المستحسن أن تسأل عن قائمة المراجع حتى تشعر بالراحة مع العلم أنك تتعامل مع شركة تنظيف لديها قاعدة عملاء كبيرة من العملاء الراضين.
