Corinne’s flirty bolero

by andrea on April 24, 2009

This is my sister Corinne modelling very last minute for me, when another model wasn’t able to make it. Thank god for family support!

This bolero is a vintage piece whose sleeves I made new, to update it and make it cooler. It has pretty pink rick rack edging the front tie. The shirt underneath is the one from which I removed that flowered applique found on Carey’s jeans. I added in it’s place a black ribbon woven through and a little bow. The shirt used to be a plain, long, straight taffeta skirt. No longer! I made it a wrap skirt with a hidden front pocket, and pleating in the back to give it a little bustle. The long black ribbon that ties it together is nice and long to make a good bow. So many lovely bows!
