I’ve been on the hunt for a good chambray dress for ages. I’d seen some great inspiration on pinterest and had sort of decided I’d just make one, but then I couldn’t find a reasonably priced denim that was lightweight, soft, and a good color. Then last week I stopped by Old Navy to pick […]

If you have a dress that’s just a little too short then you can lengthen a dress with a ruffle! It’s an easy and quick fix, and you can use pretty fabric. Because I’m a mom and there’s always someone tugging on me or hiding behind me, it’s easy for my dresses and skirts to get flipped up.
