Red Hot Homecoming

Ohmygoodness! So I definitely have a style that is mine mine mine! Hahaha! Thats all I can really say about it. so I recently had homecoming at my school. I wanted to wear something that I had made but I couldn't decide what. So I went to a local thrift store and shopped around for dresses that I could remake. As I was looking I ran across the perfect one!! It is red with white polka dots and looks like something Lucille Ball would wear. Though it was a bit too big and a bit too long but who better to fix that than me? Hahaha!

Materials:
Red Hot dress that needs altering
Sewing supplies



Procedure:
1. Try on the dress and measure how much you need to take the size in and how much shorter you need to make it.
2. Be sure you somehow mark what you need to do whether it be with pins or chalk
3. Take off the dress and pin the area around the waist band that you need to take in
4. Stitch the area down that you pinned.
5. Measure how much you need to shorten the dress and put a pin every 2 inches
6. Using a needle and thread stitch a couple stitches to tack down the hem at each pin. By doing this you will give your dress the bubble effect.
7. Pair your dress with great make up. For me it was natural eyes with bright red lip stick.
8. Fix up your hair. I put mine to one side with bobby pins.
9. Accessorize. I wore a pearl necklace, pearl earrings, and sparkly silver shoes.
10. Be sure and take pictures!
