ok i have an event to go to tomorrow. i bought this simple black ccktail dress. it's cute. but too simple. and all i'm wearing it with is black pumps, black bag, anf pearls with this jackie O. sorta hounds toooth jacket to keep me warm when i walk in. im so not feeling the outfit, so i just decided to use some materia i have around to make a dress. but what style should i make. remember i'm busty! , i'm getting a gut b/c of all the TGday food and i will be eeating my share at the event, so i dont want to make something tight on the belly.
i'm thinking this style http://www.fiftiesweb.com/fashion/dress-harem1.jpg but the waist will be a little higher, and it will be strapless. kinda like this, but gold and black(material color) or this http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.c...e_1904_1068422 but with the same gold and black, and with a black strap at that waist if you have any ideas, pist the pic b//c i have to start in like an hour to be able to try to get it done... and please, easy designs

its nice to slip in jokes from time to time. next time try to nail the punch line a bit better. but anyway yeah i like the bubble/balloon dress the 2nd one i wouldnt buy, i would try to do the layerd thing, but layer take time. which i dont have. i was also thinking about retro/mod 60's babydoll dress type thing. but i dont have any idea.
no i'm not a tailor. what a girl shouldnt know how to sew? and No to your 1st Qn too.  anyway please put up pics you think i can do. i promise to post pics of the dress at the event if i succceed
