New Dress!

I went shopping last Tuesday, I found this simple dress from Forever 21! I wore it for Father's Day! It's very comfy! It looks like a tank and skirt, but it's all one piece. Underneath the dress I wore a white tank, because the top part of the dress is a little see through! I do not want anything showing that doesn't need to be! lol I paired it with my anchor necklace from Forever 21, which is my favorite piece of jewelry right now!!! (If you haven't noticed!!) For shoes I just wore a pair of flip flops from Delia's. I fell in love with this dress when I tried it on, but then when I went to wear it yesterday, I wondered if the style of the dress was very flattering....I liked how it was puffy but I thought maybe people will think I look pregnant?? I should have got a picture from the side to show you better how puffy the dress was.....I don't know, but I took a chance, and I'm happy with! We had a cook out to go to for Father's Day, and it was fun! I hope everyone else had a good day of celebration!

I noticed soilikethelike mentioned Looklet, so I thought I would check it out! I'm happy I did it is very fun! you get to dress a model with amazing clothes!! I will have pictures soon of the looks I created! If you haven't checked it out yet I suggest you do!! :)

How To ( Brought to you by Teen Vogue)

I saw this article in the latest Teen Vogue magazine and thought this might be helpful to those of you looking to make something to wear, but needing it to be a simple enough project. I hope this works out for you! Let me know if anyone decides to do this. I'd love to see how it turns out. I myself am thinking about making this dress. Although, I can't think of what I would spell out on the shirt though. Any suggestions?? Good luck, and be creative and fun with choosing your vintage fabric!

What You'll Need:
*three yards of vintage fabric
*A tape measure
*scissors, needle, and thread
*a white t-shirt
*felt Stick-It letters

...........................................................................................................

Step 1: Down to Size
Cut the fabric to make the skirt of the dress. For width, measure your waist and multiply that number by three. Next, cut the desired length.

Step 2: Main Squeeze
Using the needle and thread, make a running stitch across the top of the fabric, with each stitch about one-quarter inch in length. When finished, pull the stitch to shirr the skirt.

Step 3: Spell It Out
Trim the bottom of the T-shirt so that it hits your natural waist. Sew the skirt's waist to the T-shirt's bottom. Stick the letters across the front of the shirt to spell out your message.



The Results
Enjoy your new custom dress!

One Dress, One Girl, A Million Possibilities

I was inspired to try to this dress, in a few different ways. I also have a light pink tank I could have subsituted for the white tank pictured above....I love this dress, I just tucked the top half of the dress under and made it into a skirt for the last 4 pics....

I should have got a picture showing the pink tutu material that hangs out of the bottom
