sparkly cape from old evening gown.

 
 
 


 I'm sure I bought this sparkly dress from a charity shop and did wear it just for something different, but now I have so many dressy things, and so few excuses to wear them its just been sitting around, sooo....





I cut along the back of the dress, where the split was, and well as removing the top bit. I undid a bit on the split seams to allow me to continue them along the full edge, and of course the bottom hem was already done.
It was lined with plain black fabric, which I turned into a simple rectangle collar and used the spaghetti straps as the tie at the front.





I'm sure my niece will look much cuter in it then me!!

With Halloween coming up, I hope this is a help to those who celebrate !!
