It's nearly Spring Carnival time, so inspired by a dress from Pretty Woman with Julia Roberts I used a blue and white spotted number to make my own version. I would have preferred a caramel silk dress to start with but for $4 you use what you can.
Here is the before, complete with a little nylon lace collar and elasicated waist line.
The inspiration for the dress
Ta da! I took off the sleeves and gathered the neckline. Ran a bias strip made from the sleeve fabric along the neckline and armholes.

I took the dress up a little and made a self covered belt from the fabric using a kit that I also picked up from the oppy for 20c.
The rosette is just made from some scrap fabric, button and ribbons from the stash.
