Amber's NDAD Creation

Amber's skirt makeover today is pretty darn fabulous.  I think you're all going to love!

Hello from sunny Florida!  I've been following your blog ever since that awesome Yahoo shout out and similar to your story, I found myself without a job, and lots of free time!  So I said, let the sewing begin!  I started with a giant skirt that I bought for $1!

That's my boyfriend TOTALLY willing to take a photo with me. (not)

That has got to be one of my favorite photos!  Let's see how Amber switches this up...

I measured how much to cut from the skirt...

...sewed a new hem, and then trimmed the excess.

I took the remaining fabric and made some straps.

I pinched below the boobs for a little more fitted look and ta-da!

Cinched with a black fabric belt that I already own, and I've got a dress that fits like a charm!  I can't wait to wear it around town. 

Giiiirrrlll...this dress rules.  Everything about it is perfect.  You look amazing and I hope you're wearing this everywhere!  Get an after shot with the BF - I'm sure he's loving how you look!
