Description
This cocktail dress was a refashion of a boring old bridesmaid dress I found in a thrift shop. I absolutely covered it with multiple shades of pink and red lace, bias tape and vintage trims. It took a total of about 6 hours to attach all the trims and I used my favorite machine stitch all over to focus on thread as part of the design.
Material Notes
polyester, lace, cotton bias tape and vintage trims.

I can see the effort you have invested in making of this beatiful dress, I believe that you will be very happy to wear it :) This is my favorite feeling, satisfaction of making something on your own, and proud wearing.

I love your dress. I am a big fan of circles, in the past year or so I have made several circle projects. You did a great job!
