Instructions

  1. I did not go about this in the most organised way because I'm not terribly skilled at making clothes but essentially I traced round a bodycon dress I own and used it as my basic pattern. I cut and stitched a basic shift dress before marking the back swoop

  2. I cut and stitched a basic shift dress before marking the back swoop whilst wearing it (dress form or a good friend would be helpful here!) and then cut it as needed. as the sequinned material won't fray I left all my seams raw.

  3. In short, this was fairly cheap, super quick, and I don't care if it looked a little rough round the edges because I felt like an awesome glitter ball :)
