My 1 Euro party dress

Print Page

Description

I bought this lovely table runner in an special discount for 1 euro. Then I decided to transform the great fabrics into this dress. I mixed 2 kinds of patterns: for the bustier, dress # 106 burda magazine nov 2006, the yokes were from Pollini dress and for the skirt, I just joined several straps one to another. I added the lining and a tuttu skirt for making the dress even puffier. I am very happy with the results. I am planning to wear it in a wedding next week. I think no one could figure it out how much my dress does really cost: )

Ahhh, you look gorgeous, as always! The dress is beautiful, such a grat idea! And I never would imagine it was made out of table runner. I recognized the bustier pattern, and I can say I like your dress much more than the Burda's original.
