The dress that came too late.

This was supposed to be my Halloween dress. Not a costume but just a dress for Halloween. Is that odd? I dunno. It seemed right at the time. Anyway, I started cutting it out before Halloween and soon realized that I did not have enough fabric. My bf bought me this fabric from some random fabric store he saw one day in some neither region of London. Meaning, I couldn't get anymore from him.

I looked on ebay and found what I thought was the same fabric. Ordered it and waited. When it arrived and I noticed it was the same print but a totally different fabric. Err. I decided that I wouldn't let that ruin the spirit of Halloween, even though it had already passed, and I soldiered on.

The new fabric was much stiffer than the old one. I think, it probably wasn't quite right for this dress. I mean, one arm on it is seriously puffy. But, overall it's not so noticeable.

The pattern itself is a vintage Betsey Johnson Pattern. I love Betsey. I'm in the shop so much that the girls that work there know me. Maybe I shouldn't admit that but, my love of all things Betsey has given me even more joy about my new creation. Oh yes. This dress rocks.
