The Purple Dress

A free dress
close up of details
Faboo sleeves!
The back is kinda unflattering

 I loved the color, and the gathering on the bodice, but it made me look too old. I tore the sleeves out, and cut a bunch of the bottom off. I cut a slit at the neck, and folded it to create a "V" neck. I didn't like the way the shoulder straps sit, so I put safety pins around the bottoms, and made the shape of the neckline more pronounced. The gathering on the bodice became a detail that went higher, and the back of the needed no changes.      

                                                                                                 


Dance around!
 It's a very thin sundress, and I have no idea how it acts in
really warm weather, so that should be an interesting experiment.
