Description

i designed and made my own formal dress because all the ones in stores were too big, not in my price range or just didnt suit my taste.

unfortunately i made it about a size too big! lolz such irony! and it didnt turn out exactly as i had hoped either! sequins were hand sewn on -THE NIGHT BEFORE!!!

Material Notes

silk lining made from rayon i think its called sequins from spotlight. painstakingly hand sewn on!!

    I really like the color. It looks like it fits pretty good. Great job on the sequins. The dress looks store bought.
