i made this last year after seeing a similar one worn by a reality star in a magazine. i just copied it by using a wrap bodice and then i made a column pencil skier to the bottom.the top halfs from burda 6/2010, it was a marilyn monroe esque dress. x
striped cotton for the top and red jersey for the bottom and the lining
