This is a collection of some of my favorite upcycled clothing items or outfits I found on Flickr. Charlotte Self created these lovely pieces upcycled from bits of lace and doilies. Her Resurrection Rags collection is made from antique tablecloths, pieces of handkerchiefs, antique lace and bits of denim or linen. She often added beading to her work as well. She has a web site at: http://resurrectionrags.com/vintage-inspired-handmade-clothing-reconstructed-vintage.html . At this time there are only a few items available. I assume she is busy creating more items!

Petticoat Pistol is an Etsy shop owned by a woman named Rachel based out of Austin, Texas . Her work is inspired by western films and cowgirls. Currently she is selling made to order upcycled wedding gowns on Etsy.  She has some of her work at The Atomic Cherry Boutique in Austin, Texas.  I thought the photo of the bride in the creek, or river fly fishing was great! I hope you enjoy these lovely pieces as much as I did finding them.
