mindy gledhill contacted me a week ago and asked me if I could help alter her dress for her newest music video, winter moon. ο»Ώshe found out about my blog through her little sister Lindsey, who is my HS friend and thanks to lindsey, I met another awesome girl with an amazing talent. I fell completely in love with her with the very first song I heard. She has a beautiful, angelic voice and her music uplifts and makes me so happy!
She was so kind, down to earth, and genuine and she was kind enough to bring me her albums Anchor, and Winter Moon, her Christmas album which hasn’t even been released yet! Those two albums are the only music I’ve been listening to for the past week and she is definitely my favorite right now. my kids and I’ve been having dance parties to it too, i just can’t get enough! So i’m so excited I got to help her in a small way to make the music video for winter moon.
this is the dress in it’s original. she wanted me to modestify it.
after:
(this was mainly her idea and i just executed it.)
the back of the dress
She’ll be filming the music video tomorrow and I cannot wait to see it!
It’ll have puppets in it who also sing with her, how cool/cute is that?
p.s: to listen to some of her music, go here. #1, #3, #9 are some of my favorites.
p.p.s: see mindy’s blog post about our encounter here.
*UPDATE:
Mindy Gledhill’s newest music video winter moon is here!

Wow Sarah, you did such a great job! The dress looks amazing. You are right about her music. I'd much rather listen to her music than a lot of other music. π
The after dress is awesome! That would be something she could totally wear besides in a music video. And she's an awesome sport for posing for a few pics with your daughter.. I bet she thought Mindy looked like a princess!
Great job on the dress. Mindy is way talented. I love her music videos.
I know I've said this before but you're so talented Sarah! And thank you for introducing me to Mindy. I absolutely love her music! In fact, I just bought one of her CDs on iTunes π
holy cuteness! awesome job! that dress is truly unique.
and i totally lol'd at the pic with your daughter π

Way too cute! Where did you get the extra fabric for the sleeves and belt?
Wow, this was a major Cinderella/fairy godmother remake! I love the end result, you are so talented! And Mindy is right, you are so beautiful, it's hard not to look at you!
Haha- at first I thought the "before" pic was the dress you made… π VERY cute, and so fun that you got to meet her! I love her music, too!!
I am visiting from Mindy's blog. The dress is amazing and your girls are so adorable.
Sarah!! It looks fantastic!! You did a wonderful job! So proud of you! love you xx π
@Joyce: there were a ton of layers of red tulle on the dress, a little too much, so we were able to use it for the sleeves and the belt.
Thank you so much for your encouraging comments everyone!

Super cute dress Sarah…you completly changed it to something beautiful! Congrats on your success!
I am so jealous! I have loved Mindy Gledhill since I first heard "I Will Rest in You" in HS. Her cd has been my 'go to' sunday tunes since I can remember. That dress is pretty awesome! I'm amazed that you can modestify pretty much anything!

Your dress makeover is to die for π
So cute! And really it is cuter modest. π
