Long gypsy skirt made entirely from vintage neck ties (and a lil’ bit of ric-rac).

Necktie Dress (Halter style)
One of a kind dress, handmade from Vintage Neck and Bowties!
I made this dress for myself several years ago, so it is has been worn, and has proven very durable and comfortable, if you really like this design I can get as close to it as possible for you.
If you would like a dress similar to this one or in another size, please contact me directly sasha@tatterdamelion.com or purchase one of my custom necktie dresses from my etsy store http://www.etsy.com/shop/tatterdamelion.
I love making garments from neckties it is like a puzzle fitting them together so that they create an active composition that will flatter the figure.
I also really enjoy the idea of taking a masculine business world symbol and turning it into something that is fanciful and feminine.
Because I do not use a pattern, and all my materials are vintage neck ties, each item I make in this way is entirely unique…no two will ever come out exactly the same, and I love to explore new ways to put them together.

Dress for the garden
This dress is Up-cycled from vintage bed sheets printed with bright, cheerful flower prints. I have actually sewn two of these, the only difference being the applique flower, which you see a detail of in this gallery.
The straps are made from silky ribbon and it has an applique flower on the front.
This dress is nice and roomy, perfect for playing outside, a picnic or harvesting crops in the garden.
This dress will fit several sizes, small, medium and large as the design is pretty free, not recommended for larger than a 38 bust.
