granny Chic Week Day 4: Polka dots and pleats


Here is a dress I took in...obviously....look at it! It had some issues. After seeing Katie Holmes's frayed pink dress on the cover on instyle magazine, I decided to leave the neckline and sleeves frayed too. I just made sure to sew a straight stitch around the neckline and sleeve to prevent it from fraying too much. With the rest of the dress, I just took it in and up! 

I would love to write more, but Beck keeps saying "outside" and is pushing my laptop closed. So, till tomorrow!
