Since I didn't want to pay the price I thought I would make it. A trip to Hobby Lobby and $6 later I had fabric for the dress. I decided to try it myself.
Basically all it was is two rectangle pieces of fabric, with one arm hole cut out. Sew the sleeveless side of the dress regular, next to the body. Then sew the other side almost half way in, leaving a space for the arm to slide through.
When your arm is down, the extra fabric will lay in ruffles against your side. For some reason it still wound up just as short, so I will find some simple black shorts to wear with it.
I do love it! However, I may still have to go buy the original one that I seen. ;)
I like to party over here!
Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
So cute! You are amazing!
ReplyDeleteChristy!!! This is freaking adorable!!!! I absolutley love it! Did you figure out how to make it on your own? You should think about doing a tutorial ;) It looks smokin' hot on you - love the length but can understand how you could feel it was too short. I've done that before too...and with little boys around, my dress is bound to go UP way too easily! :) LOL!!! You might be able to pull it off with a pair of tight black leggings or capris...and a chunky black beaded necklace - yowza sista!!! LOVE IT! Hugs, Julie

DeleteThis is beautiful!! Great job on "copycatting" something you like. I plan on doing that with some tank tops I picked up on sale for this summer. I am stopping by from Sumo's Sweet Stuff linky party and your newest follower.
