This was a super short mini dress from forever 21 that was screaming for a makeover! I turned it to a very special piece I might say. Everything that’s used to upcycle this piece is vintage and second hand, the satin ribbon, the beads and even the yarn! Although the original is fast fashion, the upcycled version got the couture treatment and all was done by hand.
As you can see a little too big for me on the bust (A cup) a B or C cup would fit better. Circumference can be adjusted by tying the ribbons wider although there’s a little hook on the top just in case the ribbons would untie, the top stays in place :)

Most garments I sell are vintage. Defects are always mentioned but keep in mind I sell garments that are often 30 years old, some are 40 or 50 years old even. Signs of wear can be expected of vintage. It’s part of the charm. Make sure you checked all pictures and descriptions before you purchase.
