Respectfully Recycled Denim Dress

An up-cycled, patchwork denim dress, playful, yet grown up, ready for whatever comes our way.

Recycling and sustainability stitched into one, a maxi denim dress. Using a vintage ball gown pattern, and indigo dyed, recycled denim fabrics found @capecodshibori, the dress comes into full swing. Laying out the recycled denim pieces was the fun part. There were even two pieces in one order that had the original pockets attached. I used those purposefully on the back of the dress. 

I have loved the look of a puffy blouse underneath a gown, and this did the trick for me.

The belt is from @zanabayne, www.zanabayne.com - a post-fetish leather brand with many accessories. 

The shoes were brought to my attention by the ever-clever, brilliant NYC and beyond stylist, @caroldavidsonlifestylestrategy, www.CarolDavidson.com. Her magic to find the most wonderful pieces just for you is, well, magical. They have height with comfort. And come with two different ankle strap options, silk ribbons and leather buckled straps. Found these beauties on Zappos.com

The hat is from the collection of the other half of ‘team Gelber.’ The guy behind the camera @robert.gelber and who I have lived a happy ever after life these past 35+ years. 

Eyewear is from @1010optics
