Time to break out the dancing shoes!

We are not doing a little happy dance today.

No.

We are doing the waltz, line dancing, twisting and a tango!

I've been hunting on Craigslist again and I have some new, amazing awesome finds.  So, boys and girls, it's time to do some dancing!

Two days ago I was able to get another pair of Dansko sandals for only $25!  Mind you these shoes retail easily around $100 and up.
They are a simple brown and in practically new condition- a steal.  

Yesterday, I was able to get an adjustable dress form.  Finally!
I have a dress form.  Cat meet world and dress form.

My old duct tape versions I had outgrown and the paper tape one that I want to make, takes at least four hours.  My partner wanted to do something else for those four hours. I can't blame him.

And today, I got my red Dansko sandals to match my retro dress.

I love the quilt, but alas, 'tis not mine.
I chose a different pair than I originally posted due to cost and color.  The original was a cherry red where my dress' red is a shade darker.  Perhaps, I can craft some simple accent to add to the front? Either way, they are still very nice.

With my new dress form, I will have an easier time fitting the collar which is giving me some trouble.  I had hoped to have it done by today, but life happens.  It would have been a lovely thing too since we literally got snow on May first.  Happy May Day!
