Burda Style For people who sew
Description
So for prom i wanted a show stopper, and as every other girl was going for your typical ball gown style prom dress, i just had to be the odd one out. I wanted a jessica rabbit feel to it. I brought the dress cheap on ebay, then using Black Satin and Polycotton i used a simple rouching technique and stitched each line to a triangular shaped piece of fabric, then attatching it to the dress. I restitched the back and the lining of the dress to make it smaller.
