Not long ago, I wrote about a bolero jacket titled: "Granny Goes Girlie" where I found a velvet evening jacket with beaded trim at a nearby garage sale.
I updated it with a few simple cuts and touches to become a fun bolero to wear with a cocktail dress or jeans.
I then had the bottom of the jacket left over and wanted to create something interesting with it....

A friend had given me a gown of hers and I thought "Why not combine the two?"
I created a corset type bodice with the bottom of the velvet jacket and then added the tulle skirt from my friends gown..
The result was a dress my daughters friend loved. Visit my site at
