DIY-J.Crew ruffle path dress

September 6, 2010~ DIY DREAM HOUSE

inspiration: J.Crew ruffle tank

h & m dress I got for $5

an old skirt I’ve never worn, not even once!

after:


(note: since it’s taken through the mirror, the ruffles are showing the opposite side as it really is. so it’s actually the same exact way as the j.crew tank pictured above. get it? i sure was confused for a little bit haha. 😀 )

this last picture shows the color of the dress more correctly.I don’t know how much I saved but I think it’s safe to say I saved A WHOLE LOT! 😉

    You look absolutely fantastic. That dress went from h&m to designer in a hurry. I actually think the silhouette and fit look better than what you'd find at j.crew. You look incredible. great job 🙂
