Silvana's NDAD Creation

Prom season is right around the corner and I fell in love with this piece sent in by Silvana.  She crafted it for her stunning sister and I think you're going to all be obsessed just like me!

My baby sister had her very first high school dance this year.  Of course we had to make her the most fabulous outfit ever!!  Our other sister took her shopping at a local thrift store and found this dowdy original.

The shape and style was quite sad, but it was made of beautiful teal dupioni silk.

The sisterly love is incredible!!  Time to see what Silvana did...

I removed the skirt, altered the bodice, made an open back, and reattached the skirt a bit higher, giving it full pleats.

With a little styling and some inexpensive accessories, she was red carpet ready.

The entire outfit, down to the extra flats in her little clutch for when her feet got tired, was under $20.

I don't know if I love the dress or the fact that this was a total family affair more?!  The fabric on this dress is delicious and the color is incredible!  You're totally right Silvana, the styling is perfection and your sister had to be the best dressed gal at the party...also the fact that this all ran $20 is just everything!  You're going to have to continue to send in the pieces your make for your sis because this one is a total home run!
