I would have loved to make a little mod shift dress, something like <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/1960s_gogo_mini_dress_mod/thing?id=61361473" rel="nofollow">this</a> maybe, but there wouldn't have been enough fabric. The skirt is probably a bit more modest and wearable anyway though, so it all worked out!Carissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109477116381179098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30643943.post-71589836110802765602014-02-10T08:38:10.601-06:002014-02-10T08:38:10.601-06:00Thank you, Cari!

Pocket flaps tucked in is the way and I think that shirt works well that way too!! I see it with a tank top.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05798528717666447058noreply@blogger.com
