80s prom time in SF!

After a round of thrift store shopping, my friend and I came up empty-handed in the 80s prom dress department. Mars had some amazing pieces but out of our price range for a party costume, and Goodwill and Out of the Closet had no selection! (I did find some awesome blazers at Goodwill though). So, we headed over to Discount Fabrics and picked up some gaudy fabric. I got tons of compliments on this creation, and it was fun to do something a little different for a change.

You can see some of the pics I used for inspiration here.
