When I have some sewing idea, I get so jittery until I get it done. So, tada! I finished it. It was an easy & simple project. I cut the hem of the dress straight along with its lining, and added waist elastic to make the skirt.
I still think it is too much leopard for me. Maybe I should incorporate the leopard trend of this year in more subtle way, like jewelry and accessories and stuff.
Are you a leopard print fan??

Gorgeous DIY! Love the transformation from dress to skirt. I don't think this is too much leopard. The dress might have been. I personally am careful with this trend as well, but I think you balanced it very well with this outfit. Great blog by the way 🙂

Good job! Like I said, I am not a leopard print fan but I am starting to think it depends on how you wear it and who wears it. Cheap looking accessories and bad make-up can bring the taste level down in a hurry. I wouldn't worry, IMHO you're looking sophisticated.

it is a great DIY! i love how it turned out!
PS about the rings, well they are from different stores and some of them are gifts, other antiques from my family!
