The muumuu is back!! I know you were all waiting for its’ return 🙂 A little comfy muumuu action, some bball, and Glee are the only things on my agenda. Didn’t realize how much off sched I was from staying up way past my bedtime Losting on Sunday night. I’m still catching up on veg/sleep/naps from the “I can count on my one hand how much I slept before my alarm went off and it’s not higher than three” evening. Yesterday I was a zombie with caffeine overload, so this was the perfect outfit to lay low and recover. I had a date with my couch tonight and literally nothing sounded better.
So red was on the clearly on the mind today as those Vocal Adrenaline-ers on GLEE were all about it too.
Loved the Gaga inspiration and that they copied her red chantilly lace get up from the MTV Video Music Awards.
No lace for me today, but the red in full force. It’s more like Ga. Ga. Muu. La. La. Ga. Ga. Muu. La. La. 🙂
The length was the first part to go…
Trimmed off about seven inches of length and gave the p-p-p-puppy, p-p-puppy a new hem.
Now there was already a lovely hole found on the seam underneath the arms, so I just decided to go with it. Off with the sleeves!!
After they were gone, I pinned down all the new raw edges and sewed them in place.
This one today got turned into a chic shoulderless number that perhaps Lady Gaga would have been proud of.
She’d however demand that I cover my head in an iceberg,
some sort of metallic orb,
or a silver lobster.
Now sing with me! Ga. Ga. Muu. La. La. Ga. Ga. Muu. La. La.
one of my favs. love it. can’t believe the before and after.
I know, me too! I was so happy with this outcome 🙂

How do you make a muumuu look so good?! haha! I have been following for a while now but am finally coming clean to say how impressed I am (and slightly inspired! I’m so intimidated by sewing clothes but have actually worked with three pieces since reading your blog!)
Would it be OK if I use one of your pictures on my blog (pointing back here of course!) to spread the love of what you’re doing?
Thanks!!
Thank you!! So glad you’re working on your own stuff! Fabulous 🙂 Feel free to use whatever you’d like on your blog! xx M
This one is amazing!
That was a fortuitous hole in the seam! The neckline makes the dress.
Agreed 🙂 Neckline totally makes the dress!
Very cute, this is one of my favorites!
Very cute! I really like it!
This turned out so cute. My Grandma always rocked the muumuu. Now I wish I had some of hers to convert. Again, very cute.
I love the way this one turned out! Probably my favorite so far!
WHAT?! You are UNBELIEVABLE.

So I’m a few weeks behind in my blogs,a nd have even fallen behind in my subscription magazine reading (so forgive me if this has already been mentioned). So I finally sit down to read THE BEST MAGAZINE in the world, BUST, and who is featured in a half page spread? One of my favorite bloggers ever, Ms. NewDressADay herself! I couldn?t believe it! Until I thought about it and totally could. You belong in BUST with yo’ bad DIY self. Congrats hon! You totally deserve it.
