UPDATE to add slip-Thrift Shop Recycle- Hi Cuties!<br /><br />

I wanted to make my grand-daughter a play dress-up' dress, so I went to the thrift shop and found this Prom dress for $3. It had a black netting slip attached at the waist, that I didn't even rip off, to make Nora's new slip. (I just realized I forgot the slip photo so I'll add later.)<br /><br />
For the slip, I cut it seam included from the top, then took 2 rows of basting stitches below the seam, on top of nets and black lining. Then I cut the original seam off. Saved me a lot of gathering together.Added a waitband & had to cut the length of slip, of course, and that was it.<br /><br />
The zipper was broke in the prom dress, so I couldn't salvage it. I used a new 37 cent zipper, from the site Bev told me about one time. (Thanks Bev!) Oh, and I added a snap (she had to have purple!) on her slip waistband.-lol-Look at this face, worth every penny!-lol-Other than threads, that's about all it cost me.<br /><br />
I embroidered this FSL on white netting and just stitched it on the top of the bodice neckline, after I stipple quilted the bodice.( I needed to practice my stippling-lol) I made this out of the lining of the prom dress, as I want to make her another one, with the real taffeta fabric. I told her she can let Ellie, her cousin that's the same age, wear one when they play.<br /><br />
If you look close at the back of the dress, you will see seams going at a slant. That's because I never ripped the original skirt of the dress apart, at the seams. I used a circle skirt pattern and just cut it out from the original front fold. I wouldn't make a real/good dress like this, but remember it's for play.<br /><br />
I also put her zipper in and the teeth show, but that's so the kids don't hang the teeth on the fabric, that I usually have over the zip. The length is about 3 inches from the floor, so she doesn't walk or trip on it, but it looks like its on the floor in these photos. I was just playing around.<br /><br />
You probably won't like it as much as she does, but I hope you like it.-Toogie
