Slipdresses

You may not know this about me,

but as an adolescent, when I was first starting to sew, I would cut apart different items of clothing

and created a mishmash-Frankenstein-assemblage wardrobe.

Recently I discovered a clothing brand called HAPPY ENDING made by 2 people in Southern California. ( @happyendinghollywood on IG ) that really reminds me of what I used to make mixed w/ what I like to wear these days, which is: Slipdresses, fishnets, leather jackets and knee high boots.

This discovery led me to decide to spend more time researching slip / slipdress designs in order to PLAN which to chop & amalgamate without Destroying perfectly good slips in the process.

(Which is something I used to do no problem. Now I actually respect my clothes. I just want to make most of my short slips Long, but in a pleasing way, not so random chop chop)
