Wasn’t a big fan of the movie, but I couldn’t help but be drawn to make some sort of dress out of this fabric.

I was heavily inspired by the Cecille Bahnsen dress “Lisbeth,” as you can see with the short bodice cut and the ruched pockets. I originally wanted to make the pockets more of focal point, but alas, I didn’t have enough fabric. I’m not entirely sure if the original design had pockets to begin with, but my dress has enough room to fit two butternut squashes.

I thought this mini dress would look super cute with an oversized leather jacket and some chunky heeled boots. I didn’t have enough energy to actually put this outfit together, but I would totally go for space buns, a dark liner, and some hoop earrings to finish the look off. Could be a cool Halloween get-up, without looking too costume-y. It would be great to wear for a night out with your friends if you’re not going for the sexy kind of vibe. My version is all about rebellion and taking risks, so I guess a more Harley Quinn sort of aesthetic.

What I’m wearing:

• Dress: made by me, inspired by Cecille Bahnsen
• Leather jacket: thrifted
• Boots: thrifted, from Aldo
• Hoop earrings: thrifted
