Last year’s pouf dress needn’t go poof

February 19th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

Now that the pouf has gone poof! What do I do with the bubble dress I bought last holiday season? It has a black velvet bustier top and a pink satin bubble skirt that starts to pouf just below the waistline.

Is there a way to save this dress?

If you like the dress, wear it. Don’t let fashion intimidate you.

If you’re tired of it, you can create a new look by using each part in other forms.

After you have separated the bustier from the bubble, wear the top with black velvet, black satin or black lace pants.

Then, use the pink satin bubble skirt as a capelet. Just slit one seam, finish the edges, and run a black velvet ribbon through the hem casing. Tie it at the back and you’re ready to bubble again.

For a more colorful look, you might want to wear the bustier with pink satin pants or red pants in either satin or lace. Shocking pink and fuchsia are other choices that will harmonize with your pink satin cape.

If you don’t like the idea of pants, wear your bustier with a long slinky black satin sheath skirt.

What’s the best polish for black patent leather shoes?

Shoe designer Paul Mayer says to swab away the dirt with rubbing alcohol. Then apply hair spray and they’ll look like new again.

If they’re not dirty, but are just rain-spotted, use only the hair spray.

I will be married soon on the island of St. John in the Virgin Islands. The ceremony will take place on the beach at sunrise.

Could you please suggest an appropriate wedding dress? I am tall and slender and have long blonde hair. I’d like something white – and, perhaps, tea-length – that will float lightly in the trade winds. I’d prefer to make the dress myself.

The groom and I will be barefoot.

If you make Vogue 1865 in organdy, white-on-white dotted Swiss organdy, handkerchief linen or sheer cotton voile, it should float gracefully in the wind. But in case there’s a little too much wind that morning, you might want to make yourself a matching mantilla that you could secure to your head with a wreath of flowers.

You could dress your toes in flowers to match those in your hair for a total head-to-toe look.
