Item #8
This is a dress that came from my maternal grandmother. I found it in my mom's basement and realized it would be perfect for a Blind Pig theme party my team captain was throwing. It was a little bit too big, and there was a flap of ruffles sticking out on one side. Literally, it just stuck out and flapped around, kinda weird. So, I took it in a bit, but not too much, so it still had that kind of rectangle bag-fit of the era. And I sewed down the ruffle flap so that it was not flapping about. You can't see the flap well in this photo though. I brought my BFF
Sam with me, as she is the kind of person who goes crazy over any opportunity to dress up in a costume. Seriously. She's recently unemployed, but put down a fat wad of cash for this gangster outfit. Which is, admittedly, pretty awesome.
In this photo you can see a little bit of the ruffle flap next to my arm. The party was a lot of fun, complete with old timey drinks (you can see the menu on the chalkboard behind Sam), Rag Time music, and Wham trying to teach us all how to Charleston (it's a lot harder than I thought!).
