Week One--Let the Game Begin

Two hours searching second hand stores with two little kids...there are many words that come to mind. Miss K found a pair of high heels that she proceeded to wear for the entire duration of the mission. Baby A pulled numerous garments from hangers (um, sorry about all those broken hangers) and piled them on himself until he resembled Mount Clothesmore. Just as I was beginning to feel I wasn't going to have any luck today, because not just anything would do for the first "transformation", I came across this beauty:

Not only does it have a matching belt (and by matching I mean the EXACT same material), it has elastic in the waist...you know, because there is nothing more attractive than a poochey top and lots of gathers around a plus-sized middle. It is a pretty basic dress design, lending itself well to this project. You bet your buttons I can do this!
