Before & After
How did you fall into what you doing? I started recycling my bridesmaid’s dresses because I had trouble throwing out so much money and memories! Plus it just didn't seem right, I mean if you have the chance to save something with such good bones, wouldn't you?
How long have you been doing this? I have been recycling and wearing recycled dresses for over 4 years now.
Have you always been creative? Is this your only creative outlet? I would say that I have always been creative; I have had my hands in everything from ceramics, painting, printmaking to photography!
How long does it take you to create one piece? It can take me from start to finish on a dress, from a day to a week.
How do you come by your dresses? Some of my dresses are found at thrift stores, but most of them are owned by the customers (given to me to recycle then I give them back to them!)
What would be your advice to entrepreneurial women just starting out? I would tell other women to save there pennies, and use the internet!
What has been the hardest obstacle to overcome? has been getting my name and concept out there!
Where else can we see your work? You can find my work at www.recyclemydress.com, www.recyclemydress.etsy.com, and Green Being in
Do you believe in the “pay it forward” kind of concept? Helping someone else for free and for fun, ultimately brings good back to you?
I do believe in the concept of 'pay it forward', I taught yoga twice a week for free @ my yoga studio for well over a year. It did feel good to help them out and even better when they were appreciative for my donation. Thank you, Nicole :)
Something can be done about that old brides' maid dress!

Amazing! I got a few old ones in my closet
that could use a makeover.
That is so awesome!
I have a few dresses that I might consider doing that too :D
Thanks for the review!
