No doubt that this farm girl loves some western
couture! When putting this look together
I knew I wanted to create something full of “ruffles”, but I also wanted it to
look worn. (I LOVE the look of worn
denim!!). I started creating the bottom
of the dress first and decided on cutting out multiple circles so that I could
create the flounces…..if you have ever worked with denim, you will know it is
not something you would enjoy ruffling.
I tell people I usually find patterns all over my house, and of course I
used a small plate for my circles. After
each were drawn and cut, my kids and I started hand fraying each piece. The dress quickly started to come together
after I finished tiering the skirt and adding in some extra peek-a-boo tulle
underneath for fullness. When doing my
sketch work, I chose pink lace to go with the dress, because I wanted to “upscale”
the western look and again, there is something about pink lace and denim that I
love. I had sketched a jacket to go with
the look, but I ran out of denim in my trial and error on this dress, but look
for something similar in the future!!
