Remember that ugly bridesmaid dress in lavendar floral with layers of ruffles? C'mon, you know the one. Sure you love the bride. You spent $200 bucks on the gown. And there it sits, taking up room in your closet. Annie's Formals patterns can transform that ugly lavendar gown into a to-die-for handbag!

Do you like your gowns, but find them just too formal for the office or Starbucks? Maybe you even have matching shoes that haven't seen pavement since that night. Think how cool it would be to wear matching shoes with a custom bag!

Choose one of our handbag styles, and download a pattern! If you have basic sewing skills (all of these bags feature straight lines and super simple instructions) you can transform that dress hanging in the back of your closet into a one-of-a-kind accessory in just a few hours! Even if you've never sewn before, try! E-mail and phone support is available (details with your pattern purchase.)

If you don't have sewing skills, or even a sewing machine, we'll sew you a custom bag from your gown. Contact us for pricing.
