New Year's dress

This year, weather forecast for the New Year's Eve sounds somewhat scary. We are expected to have temperatures as low as -20 Celsius (-4 F). And these are temperatures we did not have for past two years, so yeah. Very cold New Year's Eve.

So, instead of going shopping for a fun dress (as if that was likely), I decided to repurpose couple of old (and rather holey) wool sweaters (one dolcevita and one cowl) and spruce them up with some animal print.

So these are mine before(s):


... and the final product:


As I managed to trace my steps in making this dress, please check out the tutorial at the Curvy Girl's Refashions.

Wishing you all a truly Happy New Year!
