PORTRAIT OF AN ICE PRINCESS


I lifted these chic and sweet winter pieces off yesterday's Etsy Newsletter.  It's the Winter Wonderland here that intrigues and inspires me most to want to get married allover again--this time with a snowy backdrop and me under a pile of fur--faux of course . . . .

CREATING A NEW BODICE OUT OF A STRAPLESS



So many choices out there for turning that strapless into something different whether it's a slip on and off option like a bolero or an alteration you make to your dress that turns it into a permanent look.  The easiest transformation you can also make is via jackets, boleros, capelets, shawls.  The above dress with an asymmetrical neckline I can totally see once upon a time as a strapless now with an overlay of tulle added to the shoulder.  Below, an  overblouse/capelet was added to a strapless.
