Re-vamped Dress for New Year's

This dress started it's life like this.....

It is a super plain full length dress from Monsoon which I bought for a few pounds on eBay last year.

I chopped the bottom of it off to look like this........

Then made a couple of darts in the front to give it a bit more shape....... (please ignore the deodorant marks - I had to try the dress on a few times to get the darts in the correct positions!!)

Then I used some lovely lace that my sister-in-law gave me and added a lace collar.......

And, this was the final result.  I teamed it up with a pair of my favourite brown boots, all ready to celebrate bringing in 2011!

Happy New Year to you all.  I hope that 2011 brings you all your wishes.
