Hermes Scarf Dress?
I just acquired two beautiful Hermes scarves and I'm trying to think what I should do with them. They are so gorgeous I'm just beside myself. Do I make a dress out of them or just keep them or sell them??? What do you think?
The Voguette here knows what to do with hers!

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have an Hermes dress?

Dakini's Latest Designs
Hi All,
I haven't posted much for a while because I have been so busy opening my retail store and exploring new ways to use and recycle silk scarves. I find a lot of beautiful scarves but some of them just don't really sell on their own. I decided to take them and up-cycle them into dresses, tops and other clothing! I will also show you how you can turn your own scarves into more functional pieces. It can be very simple and easy to do!
For now here are some photos of some of my latest creations. If you want to learn to make these yourself then follow my blog! I will be posting how-to's soon.
