...and so the Holidays begin...

Following this post where I told you all that I was going to make my very own dress this year for the holidays, I finally convinced myself to do it. 

Here's what the final looks like - I'll update with better pictures later today when I'll have access to all my files...

So, I used some leftover fabric that I had purchased a LONG time ago. It's a comfortable knit, which means, very forgiving when it comes to fit mistakes while I sew up this little number at 1 in the morning, with lots of little sparkles ALL over the dress.

In my humble opinion, the dress looked like a starry night from afar. 

Here's the front: 

Note: Ignore the chunky gold necklace - I decided not to wear it at the end. 

and the back: 

The gown itself goes all the way down to the floor, and lands perfectly about 1" above the floor when it's worn with heels.

I ended up styling it with VERY minimal accessories. Simple crystal drop earrings, also DIY, a glittery belt from another dress and a dusty rose rosette clutch from H&M. 

Happy Monday everyone!
