ella loves skirts.
skirts and dresses.
she is not in support of shorts or any pants other than jeans.
(what a princess)
but when i saw this romper for ten bucks at target....
mommy had to figure out a way to MAKE her wear it.
she does like aprons.
so i decided to sew a little hanky apron right onto the elastic waistband.
i just sewed it right through the middle and let it double over.
then i sewed a little ribbon over the elastic band and the hanky as i pulled the elastic tight so it could still stretch, but it would have the illusion of securing around her waist.
i left the the ends to hang in in the front (a little to the side) so i could tie a bow.
ok. i'll admit that she still doesn't like it very much.
but i CAN get her to wear it.
so that's something.
and i paid her a chocolate easter egg to let me take her picture.
happy spring!

DeleteI recently saw another "romper refashion" on another blog(though I cannot remember which one for the life of me) that used a denim type romper from Walmart($5) and all she did was change the buttons and re-stitched the hemline to make it look higher quality. Super adorable!
