This is fantastic! Thanks so much. Am going to try this immediately.
Wow that was great and your dress looks terrific. I’ve got 80′s bridesmaid dresses that need revamping so this has given me some inspiration.
Very cute!
it’s glamorous, and you did a good job, but it’s not ’50s in the least!
I was just thinking the same thing as ‘edgertor’, It’s not very 50′s but it is still very nice, and you did a good job.
I do need to get my sewing machine fixed so I can raid the charity shops and jazz up some dresses.
