Search for your trusty not-so quick unpick (oh that's right, you've got one here)
Remove those little black ribbons, that scratchy nylon lace and those home-made shoulder pads (scarily made from crepe bandages) Roll up the sleeves (waaaay easier than sewing) Add a tan belt (another no-sew fix), chuck on a pair of wedges and...
Voila!
the perfect

And that my friends, is more than enough of me for one night...possibly for EVER!

While I do think your dress re-working was very clever, with looks and a figure such as yours you'd make a burlap sack look hot!
ReplyDeleteThe dress is pretty - excellent makeover - you are lovely and those swan planters are unbelievable. I love them. :)
ReplyDeleteWow - looks great. Good that you could see how it would look without the "bits".
