Formal Dress Recon

We were strongly encouraged to go to a military ball just recently, so much so that someone bought tickets for us. So I decided to get creative on a dress that has been sitting in the closet for almost 10 years. Way out of date, v-cut in the back, and a high neckline in the front. Here is a before (back):



There was no shape to it and it was black slinky material with a netting overlay that had sparkles and flours on it. So I seam ripped for about 3 hours to separate the two. Make some huge ruffles at the bottom of the dress, cut a v-neck, and took along piece of the netting and wrapped it from the shoulder over the bust and around the back to meet up with the large ruffles. I added a bow where it joined and on the opposite strap. Here is the finished product:



I love the ruffles super much, but the v-neck is really low, so I will prob put lace there or something.

nice!

I don't think the neckline is indecent. Show those girls off! Great recon from outdated to foxy.
