I am recreating Miroslava's look in the denim belted/pocketed dress, leather jacket, etc below:
I feel like I've been looking forever for a similar dress, but none fit the bill of my budget ($100 or less)...and if they do, they don't have the kind of 'flare'/A-line look of her dress.
So....I realized that my favorite dress in my closet is VERY similar to the look I want to re-create--it's the American Apparel pinstriped belted dress shown below:
^^This dress fits me PERFECT.
I was thinking I could take my American Apparel dress to the seamstress and either:
(1) Buy a dress off Ebay (like one of two below) and ask them to alter it to be shaped exactly like the AA dress
-or-
(2) Just buy the denim material and findings and have them make it from scratch, again, based on my AA dress
Anyone done something similar before? Do you think this is a good idea? Which would work best you think or be the least expensive route? #1 or #2??
Thanks!!!
