Gift Card Goodness!

Today's OoTD post is brought to you by Hubster Mcgee!  Yes, Ben bought me a gift card to Fabric Depot for my birthday back in December and I went the other week with my lovely friend Nicole to spend it.  I brought my 40% off a cut of fabric coupon so I to find a great deal.  As soon as we reached my favorite section, activewear, I knew it must be mine!  Stretch crushed velvet in a deep red with cream polka dots.  It was like fabric cream dream.  Done and done, it was mine.  I managed to get 3 yards for 23 dollars using my coupon and with my $20 dollar gift card I only spent $3 of my own dollars.

Once I got home I looked through my pattern folders for the perfect way to use this fabric.  It screamed 90's to me so the only possible answer was a babydoll dress.   So yesterday when I had a whole free day to myself, I spent 6 straight hours working on it while watching Spaced, Misfits and Sherlock.  This dress is infused with british comedic energy.

So here is the final product!  I am rather proud of it and can't wait to wear it out!

  13. You are absolutely STUNNING!!! On top of that, so talented. I often wish I could make my own clothes - as a fat person it's so difficult to find cute clothes. Maybe I should resolve to learn........
