Las Vegas Shakedown trades! I traded for these patches from @MissMelaMay (Instagram) and sewed them on some thrifted pieces. On the tan one, I also sewed fabric (the sun/face) from some patchwork pants that I re-patched about a dozen times before they finally became unwearable. I’ll get a lot more patches/scrap fabric outta those.

#flashbackFriday to when a lovely group of friends joined me at the Chateau Laurier for the #DowntownAbby #HighTea wearing #TAVCreationsOriginals.

Two are #upcycles - the blue jacket was formerly a strapless bridesmaid dress!
The green beaded silk dress was revamped from a #vintage piece.

The burgundy silk jacket with gold collar is actually completely reversible

The white silk jacket with purple velvet skirt were my wedding outfit from 1998, with both top and skirt made from remnants.

Montreal drag queen models dress made from anti-drag rally posters

Designers from Village Montreal turned anti-drag posters that were used in rallies in Quebec and the U.S. into a dress that they say sends a message of 'benevolence, inclusion, and acceptance' while supporting drag artists and trans people.
