Ms. Frizzle dress!

Nicole Markelz

So with most of my school work and teaching wrapping up for the semester,  I'm slowly working through documenting my backlog of projects.  First up; my Halloween costume!  Admittedly, Halloween is not my favorite holiday, so I haven't been too excited about making costumes for myself or the kids.  Until this year :)In case you're… Continue reading Ms. Frizzle dress!

Dress bloomers: Betty High Waist Panties (and hipster hack)

Nicole Markelz

It has taken me ages to get up the nerve to write this post.  The undies I'm about to talk about and show pictures of are big.  BIG.  That's the point, really, since I was looking for "bloomers" that could keep me fully covered, and without panty lines, under a knit dress.  I found the… Continue reading Dress bloomers: Betty High Waist Panties (and hipster hack)
