say yes to the dress

this week's challenge at shopping our stash is called "always a bridesmaid" and we'd like to see projects with a dress form or a dress on them. sounds like fun, no? here's what i made:

well dressed lady from a vintage sewing pattern; patterned paper: basic grey; journal cards: pink paislee; sheer journal card: pink fresh studio; lovely sticker and camera border: amy tangerine/american crafts; flowery tape: little b; tape measure clear sitcker: hambly; florals: prima; dimensional sticker: crate paper; fall stitched flower, mini stitched flower and strawberry brads: eyelet outlet;  

my dress is on a sewing pattern lady. she'd've been a favorite even if i hadn't happened upon her, already fussy cut and ready to roll, whilst looking for something else entirely. the only mystery here is what circumstances would've made me NOT use her for whatever the original project was? b/c seriously, it's hard to imagine the situation in which she was not the perfect choice! but for whatever reason, she was there, i found her, and i was thrilled!

i used this week's (#417) sketch saturday a bit loosely, and rotated 90 degrees, but i think you can still see it?

there's loads more lovely inspiration at SOS from my design team darlings; do give yourself the treat of hopping over! ♥
