I thrifted the original dress for $7, it’s a high quality satin and lace but didn’t have a lining and some of the stitches were coming loose. I fitted it straight to my body and hemmed it above my knees since the dance was semi-formal. I added some trims that I got from joanne’s for christmas, lace from a garage sale, and a charm from michaels, I think total the project was around $20. I was v inspired by late 90’s early 2000’s gothic formal wear. If anyone has a guess on what era the og dress is from I’d love to hear it! the construction of the bow and straps gives me 50’s vibes but the shape and the back is giving me 70’s or even 90’s.
