It's Oscar Week!!
Today’s piece comes from the independent film that I actually didn't see with two of my favorites Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling…
BLUE VALENTINE!
My before dress looked a little something like this...
Yep, I'm going literal today friends :)
I knew offhand that I wanted to keep this a dress - I just didn't like the length of the body paired with the shortness of the skirt, so I was going to bring the skirt up and cut the torso area in half.
I turned the dress inside out and the area where the skirt began, I pinned that to where I actually wanted it to begin.
Once I had it pinned, I went to the sewing machine to stitch it in place.
After the waist was brought up, I took out the shoulder pads and took the arms and torso area in a few inches just to make it more fitted.
I have to say, the final kind of reminded me of the style of Michelle Williams' dress by SUNO she wore to Cannes.
To add the Valentine aspect to the dress, I added my red boots, red glasses from my Middle School collection (seriously!), a floraly, multicolor belt, and a little heart necklace from my costume collection...
Plus, I channeled the Justin Bieber again...
My version...
Day 4 of Oscar Week down! Another nominee tomorrow!!
