If you can’t tell I am REALLY proud of this dress! I made it from scratch. We started with the print, mine was super glam-rock. It’s got a few of my favourite quotes, Marilyn’s face, zebra and leopard print. Then we chose a fabric – obviously I went for a crushed velvet. We copied the pattern from a book and modified it. The was supposed to have another shoulder, this was way more glamorous. We silkscreen our print on the fabric. Then it’s the fun part, cut, sew, cut, sew, seamrip, sew, sew! Oh and add that weirdo shoulder pad/fringe for some fun!

I am really happy with the outcome of this dress! I think I am going to shorten it and wear it for real!
