Part of your world...?

This cute pink number actually used to be an incredibly ill-fitting dress that my step mum's family got to play dress up with.  I've actually not done anything with the skirt part of it.  For the bodice, I cut the sleeves off and moved the waist up to just under my bust.  All around the top, I folded it over.  For the back, where the zipper is, I did not cut it or anything.  Instead, I simply sewed up to either side of the zipper, and when I zip it, it only goes up to the point that I folded.  (Confusing?  I know.  It's one of those "see it to really get it" things.  I will post more pictures sometime!)  I then attempted to add darts, but my hand sewing skills are just not up to par...
Currently, it is still strapless, although there is a belt sort of thing that came with it that I've been playing around with. 
If last year, when I took this picture, I had known that I would be starting a fashion blog, I would have taken a "before" picture, and pictures with more detail.  Sometime, I will get around to at least doing "after" pictures with detail.  Until then...enjoy this one!  And look, it's my bed--in my own room!  (I moved it into Ellie's room so that I could have more space to do art.  In reality, it just made more space for my clothes to be messy.)

See the little blond munchkin by my feet?  Ellie!  We pretend that it is Ariel's dress, when she is human.
