prom dresses repurposed into dresses for Barbie
Like many women, I kept my prom dresses along with my wedding dress. When I realized I'd never wear them again, I let my daughter and friends play dress-up with the prom dresses until they were in tatters. But even then I still wasn't ready to let them go. There was enough good fabric left to make doll dresses to fit my daughter's leftover Barbies--thus repurposing two items with one idea. The sentimental seamstress was able to keep the stitches my mom had made when she created the dresses for me. I had wanted the Elvis doll as their date but at the time could only find a Ken in a tuxedo, who gets lost in the fabric. And I see blonde Barbie has lost her glass slippers!
Here is another take on repurposing an old prom dress.
