Lumberjack Prom Dress!

[Iliketoknit]

so for my costume construction class final we had to make a dress and state our inspiration behind it.  So I instantly knew what I wanted to do.  I wanted to combine an 80's style prom dress with warm and cuddly flannel and plaid.  This is the fabulous end result.

on Dolly, my new dress form.


a bit snug on Dolly.

on me.  (ignore the polo, I was too lazy to get changed.)


it's even lined in flannel to keep you extra toasty.


thanks for looking!

I love it! Never thought that ruffle and flannel could go along so nicely

[Iliketoknit]

thanks!  yes, it was an experiment that turned out well.  I'm very much into the flannel ruffles now, I'm planning on putting them on everything haha

That is so much cuter on a live person! My goodness, I have inspiration for my stashed plaid flannel.
