LETS DANCE!

Alright so most of you ladies would be able to relate to this.  Isn't it frustrating how much money it costs to go to a dance?!? 

Costs:

Dress: $50

Jewelry: $10 

Makeup: $10

(I'm sure I didn't cover most of them....

Well..... It doesn't have to be this way.  I really wanted to go my winter formal so I decided to make my own dress.  I started on Friday and finished Saturday morning! (Lets just say it was a lonnnnggg night ;) 

Here Is What I Started With...

 I got this dress from K.B. and loved the fabric but....... it was a size extra small! That's why I'm not wearing it since it didn't fit :( 

This was the back :)

Right away I knew I wanted to do something with the dress I just wasn't sure what... So I started brainstorming and then started cutting away....

I got this fabric from a second hand store for .50 cents :)  I loved the color and new that I would use it. 

 This lace was gorgeous and I got it from K.B. along with the dress. It was an antique looking lace and new that it would look great with the cream colored dress. 

 This was originally the back of the dress.... I took the zipper out and put the same lace and purple fabric where the zipper was so that I could have a little more room...

Now what I did with this dress was I took the top off completely and used the skirt.  I just moved the skirt up so that It ended up being a strapless dress, You should have seen what It looked like as just a strapless dress.  Kind of frumpy ;)

This was a view of the dress on me and looking down.  I actually ended up moving the skirt/dress completely around so the back was now the front.  I used the belt I made and sewed it onto the dress :) 

Okay so this was at like 3 in morning.... But I finished!!! I still had some last minute touches.... but I decided it was time to go to bed when it reached 4 am...

Time To Go To the Dance :)

 This was the back of the dress, I just noticed that the bottom of the bow was flipped up... oops














We had such a great time!!!

They are such a great example and blessing in our lives!

Aren't we a good looking couple ;)

We had such a great time and I was happy that my dress actually stayed put together for the dance!!! Thank you K.B. for the fabric and lace.  I would love if people commented and gave me their opinions.  Also maybe give me some ideas of what else they would like me to alter!!!
