I made Barbie dresses

These Barbie’s were from my wife’s childhood. They’ve been naked and sitting in a shoebox for some time. Now they are dressed and ready for glamour.

I wish I had before pictures. I had to trim the blondes hair and put a headband on her to control the puffball.

One of the many dresses I made when I had a sewing
A “Gone With the Wind” set—because I LOVED that dress in the movie… It’s so fun seeing these pictures from when I owned a clothing business. (I’m still not sure if I enjoyed designing or sewing more. Best. Job. Ever.) This dress reminded me, though, how there are different seasons in our lives.

Trying House of CB dresses 💗
Did you know you can try on House of CB at some Nordstrom stores? I didn’t until recently!! It was so fun, I’ve loved these dresses for so long and wanted to see what the hype was about. I did notice the zippers are very tight and can be frustrating to close because of the corset tops. They are

my honest review of lacemade dresses
Now that it's nice and sunny, it's the perfect time to buy cute dresses, but are they worth it? 🤔 My honest review is a 8/10 for this dress. If you heavily follow the sizing guide and size up for any puff sleeve type dresses, you should be set! #HelloLemon8 #Lemon8Diary #cottagecoreou
