A romantic date night out on the town. Just imagine it: a quaint dinner at an upper class Italian restaurant, and then a stroll down the lakeshore to watch the sparks glimmer in the sky. Perhaps a kiss is in order as they nervously slip their hands into yours. This was the kind of vibe I was going for when making this dress. I also wanted ruffles-lots of ruffles.

The fabric used for this design was sourced from a long scarf I thrifted a while ago. It was too sheer at first- so I upcycled some tan knit fabric from a jumpsuit my godmother donated to me. I’m quite happy with the fit. It’s very snug on my body and it’s not constrictive at all. I especially love the tie up detail on the front. For styling ideals, a pair of white, espadrilles and a tiny bag would help create a more cohesive look.

As I wait for Miss Rona to disappear, I guess I’ll just have to settle for twirling alone in my room.
