The top is an original from the 1950s I just altered the sides so that it would fit me. The skirt was all made by me which is super light weight and comfy!

Very nice! What fabric did you use for the skirt?

Honestly it was just a cotton with stretch to it. Almost like a t shirt cotton.

That skirt is BOSS! Gorgeous work!

aww thank you Virginia moon! I think I want to make the next one a neon green for a more hardcore psycho billy look.

I think that would rock. I'm trying to break into more vibrant colors, myself since my wardrobe is mostly neutrals. Neon green would be quite the statement!

I am a very reserved girl 12 hours a day at work everyday so every chance out of work I like to make big statements. especially in my area of town there are not a lot of PUG girls or they are just plain nasty towards you!

:( That's unfortunate you've encountered mean PUGs... Though you did inspire me to get a green fabric yesterday! ;D It's not at all bright and still pretty muted... But baby steps. ;) I look forward to seeing your future projects.

my next project is this dress in an emerald or a jewel town green for the family Christmas party this year! I hope I can get it done in time fingers crossed!

Good luck! That's going to be sooo pretty when you're done. :D
