My Denim Wedding Dress

On my 34th birthday, I exchanged vows with my husband in Ashland, Oregon in December 2008.  He owned a tailored denim suit from Goodwill and I wanted to coordinate so I made my wedding dress from denim!

Upcycle: Shirt to Purse {diy weekend project}

    

Total Cost: $1

A funny thing happened on the way to the $1 sale! I used to shop for clothes based on what I currently wear – even if I had to make minor adjustments. Now, I shop for the fabric!! I really don’t care what the outfit is (a skirt, a jacket, pants, etc.), if the fabric calls my name, then I have to take it home.

I found this yellow linen-like shirt at the$1 dollar sale that Jet Rag (Los Angeles) has every Sunday. The fabric felt good in my hands, the color POPS against my skin. What more can I ask for?

Where’d you get that flirty rainbow skirt, you ask? HERE!
