What I Wore Teaser: Drape Drape Dress


So this photo shows the dress skirt before I altered it to better suit my shape. I'm loathe to show it because the skirt piece actually looks a lot better as a result of the adjustments (no photos yet). This shot is not particularly flattering (what up with the static look? - there was no static, my legs were bare!) but it does show you my newest bag purchase. That bag is new (vintage). I got it at I Miss You. It's Italian embossed leather, so chic! Works perfectly with the dress. I do promise to show the altered version as soon as I can.

  7. I have some questions about the Drape Drap book sizing. I'm between a size M and L because I have 36 inch hips and a size M bust and waist. Would you suggest I size up or down for the dresses? I hope I can find this post again to hear your reply. Haha.
