Description
How Joyful is this project? In honor of Earth Day, we asked BurdaStyle member Howjoyful to create a recycled project— and we’re in love with this summer dress! Made from our Strapless Tea Length Gown pattern, howjoyful transformed this would-be wedding gown into a sassy day dress.
Joy has been known to create many savvy recycled projects.
She even created her own gorgeous wedding gown! How lovely!
A detail shot of Joy’s “Mail Order Bride” Halloween costume.
What are you making for Earth Day?
Material Notes
Joy used a 6-XL men’s plaid shirt for the skirt and a medium-sized denim shirt for the bustier.

Too too cute! I love the layered plaid. The shirt has really great shape and the whole dress has a great fit. Really cute.
