Goodwill remake for SOAA- no, wait! We are keeping it S&S!
This started out as a 99 cent skirt at the Goodwill. Perfect shape, and sweet fabrics. I took off the bottom ruffle and added it to the top with baby blue bias tape, made halter ties with leftovers from the bottom of the skirt, and then, here's my favorite part. There are tiny little dragonfly buttons that blend in perfectly with the fabric, and I "hid" them all over the dress for the "wearer" to have fun discovering.
In the back, I used two big vintage white buttons and then added the little dragonfly buttons on top of them. (close-up below) I also hitched up (technical term ha ha) part of the back ruffle to sort of make a bustle which made the back a little more interesting. Daisy loved it, and I just couldn't part with it...so, after I took auction pictures we decided this was a keeper. She loves the way the ruffles all wiggle and twirl.
This was a fun project! Three pictures below.

"So let them be little
'Cause they're only that way for a while
Give 'em hope, give them praise
Give them love every day
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle
Let 'em sleep in the middle
Oh but let them be little" - Billy Dean
And can I tell you that the "hidden" dragonfly buttons absolutely thrill the little girl in me (who am I kidding...they thrill the adult too!) Those kind of details make me very happy .
