Happy Valentine's Day! Here's my 80s bridesmaid dress turned perfect pink 50s party dress ????❤️???? I hope some of you were able to watch my stories and see this come to life! This dress is made from acetate, and it's basically like sewing with a plastic table cloth from the dollar store. ???? There was a lot of drama. Things that should have been easy became insanely hard, because the fabric rips easily, can not be ironed, has no stretch and is slippery! I started by dismantling the entire dress with a seam ripper. The collar on top was sewn into the top seam of the bodice, so it all had to come a part. I made the straps from pieces I cut off the skirt. I re-used the collar and the bow (thanks for voting on that one guys!) on the waist, and that's all hand sewn. I TOOK OUT AND PUT IN A ZIPPER. Ahahaha that's big time for me! It turned out exactly how I pictured it when I tried it on at goodwill. ???????????? Now someone invite me somewhere fancy! ???? Again, thanks for all the encouragement and participation on my stories, it helped me not give up on her!
