Frankendress

Three garments that I couldn't wear became one that would:  That's a burgundy skirt for the main section (I knew it was too small when I thrifted it, but I loved the color, the beads and embroidery and fringe at the hem); part of a sheer sleeveless blouse for the yoke (I liked that for a while after I found it at a flea market, but one of the pockets got torn); soft printed cotton inserts below the armhole (can't see those too well here, but they're pink and floral).  Plus crocheted sleeves using whatever cotton was handy.
