There was a giant gaping hole in the back, and a slight stain at the bottom hemline.
But I knew when I saw it that this old piece of ripped up lingerie would make a great top, definitely in line with the romantic, lacy, lingerie-as-outerwear trend that I am loving. (Check out Last Friday's Post for more details.) The whole gown is so sheer and soft, it almost feels like it was woven with air. A perfect compliment to spring, in my opinion.
I shortened the hem, mostly to get rid of the stained area, but also to make the gown feel less like pajamas and more like something that could be worn day to day.
I also had to hand stitch the hole in the back, because it was a pain in the butt when I tried to stitch it with the machine but I am happy to say it is all gone!
After a slight change and paired with skinny jeans, some gorgeous long necklaces (two of which I made, one is shown here ,) and a sweater to fight the chill that is still in the air, this nightgown is ready to see some daylight!! Enjoy!
