Manic Pixie Dream Girl Dress

I had this cute white collar and black sash that I removed from another dress

That sash was sewed to the dress right under that collar like a little necktie. I sewed it onto the collar and planned to reattach them as a team to something, someday. Now, a cute collar and floppy bow are not normally something I would be drawn to. I'm afraid of looking like I'm dressing younger than I am.
Months later, I happened on this old thing in my refash pile.

I thought that this completely shapeless, boring sack could be the vehicle for that collar. It would be like a Manic Pixie Dream Girl costume that I could make just for kicks. I included a link for anyone not familiar with this term.
TL;DR version: I cut it too short, changed the black sash for a teal polka dot one, and took in the sides a bit. Then I added a few "quirky" accessories.

Thanks for looking!
