Winter White 3-Piece Party Dress

For the final Refashion Runway challenge, the competitors were charged with the task of creating something in Winter White. I refashioned three pieces, which together form a sweet party dress, but can also be worn separately.

When I saw this dated prom dress at the thrift shop for $6, I knew I had to have it. I am seeing lovely tulle skirts all over these days and have been wanting one of my very own. The bottom half of this dress fit the bill nicely.

Then I took the leftover top part of the wedding dress from last week's Cinderella costume and created a white satin bustier.

Finally, I quickly, but carefully, snipped the solid white lining out of this lace t-shirt to make it more versatile.

And when their powers combine, I can go sweet...
