50s Inspired Cocktail Dress Refash


DSCN1974

I started with this strapless dress, I loved the fullness of the skirt reminds me of a 1950’s cocktail dress! And a lace shirt, compliments from my mom!

I dressed my dress form with the lace tee and the dress ontop. Wanting to use the top of the lace shirt I pinned it in place on the dress.

Once the 2 pieces were stitched together, it was ready for some sparkle!

I harvested these shiny black decorative buttons from a sweater and positioned them onto the dress.

Once I liked the pattern I hand sewed them in place!

I like the black lace. It was a great choice.
