French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Tank-top "Chardonnay" - $48.00

"Chardonnay"

I have so many of these adorable shirts that I believe are "works-of-art" in their own right. So I'm always looking to incorporate them into different garments. Recently, as posted, I've been using them for beret's. But I wanted to do something a little different so this garment is my most recent creation. They're lite and a breeze to wear but have a little "sass" to them. I adore the cotton net lace along the bottom and at the neck. Enjoy!  I've just posted "Chardonnay" at my Etsy shop. PLEASE NOTE: This top is currently on it's way to "Altered Couture" Magazine for a photo-shoot.

French Sugar Parisian Leopard Halter Top - $52.00

Sometmes I run across a fabric that I just have to have! This fabric is one of them. I could only imagine it as this garment and so here is the result. I love this because it's so adjustable. It has the tie running thru the top so you can put the bow either on the side or in the back. It also simply ties in the back at the bottom. The fabric is so beautiful and so soft to the touch so it will be a dream to wear! Just love this and it's now available at my Etsy shop. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Lace Top - $63.00

Cute top but the fancy part was in the back with the black lace insert - so I just embellished it in the front and on the bottom. By adding black lace to the bottom, it extended the length and gave a softer look to it. And of course, on the straps, I added more goodies of lace and roses. But what gives this top it's edgy look is the black beading draped across the front. This item was just posted on my Etsy shop. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Bolero Jacket - $64.00

I adore white eyelet fabric. Nothing speaks Spring and Summer than "eyelet". When I see it, all sorts of idea's pop into my head. This is a perfect example. Originally starting out as a long-sleeved button-down blouse, it slowly transformed itself into this precious bolero jacket.  It all started with the crocheted ecru colored collar which has tiny little white pearls crocheted into it. On the collar I attached two pieces of vintage French lace. On the bottom are are two layers of lace. Top layer is ecru and underneath, creamy white see-thru lace. I made sure to trim out the edge of the short sleeves. So perfect and you can find this at my Etsy Shop. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Soft White Cover-Up - $57.00

This lovely top was so easy to change over to a beautiful cover-up top. The bottom had a large piece of rouching on the bottom. I simply cut it off, and saved the rouching for another project. Then I took this absolutely gorgeous "tear-drop" white cream lace and attached it to the bottom where the rouching was. Whala! Now it can be worn over a vintage slip, tank top or cami. Think about the possiblities - you can use it as a cover-up over a sphagetti dress in the evening. So adorable and the fabric is so soft and comfy!  Just posted this to my Etsy shop.

Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Upcycled Reversible Beret and Matching Bag - $62.00

 I really enjoyed making this because it gave me the opportunity to use this unique fringe that I've been hoarding now for over two years. I new I would find a wonderfull purpose for it - and it was well worth the wait!  The fabric is a stretchy crinkled nylon velvet that was a little girls' dress and it had two style patterns on it. The reverse side of the beret is from a t-shirt and the colors matched so well, like they were meant to be together! I've just posted this ensemble on Etsy. Enjoy!

French Sugar Parisian Midnight Rose Altered Couture Dress - $98.00

This gorgeous creation is created from a number of different parts of other garments. I love that it looks like a vintage garment from the 1920's! It was a blast to make and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. It's now posed on my Etsy shop! Enjoy!
