Description

I keep it pretty simple. I cut about 4 inches off he bottom. About 10 inches of the front sides. I removed the straps and rolled the tops over to insert long tie straps. I made a belt. It can be worn with or without the belt. I have never altered a pattern before. This was so much fun!

Materials

Stretchy satin for the dress and non stretchy gold satin for the straps and the belt.

so sick of the pantsuit

Oh, that's lovely. I like the casual, beachy feel of it, and the fabric is great! I'm sorry it got left out of the competition!
