Description

A dress that resulted from a Project Runway style self-challenge for New Year’s Eve outing with the boyfriend. I searched and searched for a dress I would like but found nothing – so I decided to make it myself.
Note: I did not create the shrug worn with the dress, but it finished it off so nicely.

Material Notes

denim, cotton/poly blend, nylon tulle, sheer blue fabric, notions

    Very pretty! Minimalistic, but not austere at all-very feminine!

    So pretty! You got the fit great. I never would have imagined denim and a sheer fabric together but it really works!

    It looks like what Louis Vuitton did for fall/winter 2010, but in shorter! This makes you look hot!
