Finished Project: Halloween Pinup Dress- Late 50s Inspired

 
I forget which on-line fabric store I first spotted this print. It's another discontinued Alexander Henry Print. GOD I LOVE THAT COMPANY.
This is the same pattern as the other double collar dress I posted. I wore this for a Halloween Ball in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania. I had a cute little feather hat with a veil. This dress is PURE awesome, and I will be wearing it to band shows for sure. Like MINISTRY says: Every Day is Halloween!
sin cinturon


Funny story about that hair bow. It came off of it's clip. I was gluing it onto another clip. Like a complete dumbass, After I glued it, I held it up to my hair...with glue not solid yet. Si! I actually glued the bow to mi cabello! Que tonta! I  had to pull my hair out!

Do you like it better with belt or without belt?
Now that I see both, I think I might like no belt better...
The original pattern has cuff sleeves. I made scallop sleeves instead. It was part of my master plan to nail down making those tricky bastards. I like the look!
Oh yea....Have you ever bought buttons, then ran out, went back to buy more and they were out at the store! Ay Dios Mio! I improvise! Buy a set of buttons that are complimentary, and then alternate button types! Then tell people it's part of your design! LOL SUCKAS!

I hope you like it! I do!

Me encanta la tela (como siempre) u las mangas me gustan festoneadas (no es mucho trabajo? ¿O ya le has pillado el truco?)

Tal vez sin cinturón me guste más también aunque de ambas maneras estas RADIANTE!!

No me has dicho si te gusta el vestido rojo (el de los primeros 50 segundos) Lo he hecho yo! El videoclip lo dirigía un amigo que me encargó abrir el video

Best fabric ever! You look amazing - I prefer it with belt - and the scallops are frickin awesome. You're SO clever.
