Coat? Vintage, thrifted Dress? Victor Costa, thrifted (yes, I have a very similar one that is vintage... ) Shoes? I.D. Browns Clutch? Thrifted Bracelets? The Ex
'Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Jentine was running,
With pins in her mouth.
Meh. That was not my best poetic effort, and the fact that I referred to myself in the third person makes me lose respect for Jentine but, you get the point. At 8 o'clock on Christmas Eve, I decided that I really needed to wear this dress on Christmas Day. Nothing else would do. The dress needed some minor tweaks and then, what started out as a pinch taken in under the bust, turned into some full-fledged alterations. And that is the story of how Santa and I were both working hard on Christmas Eve. Except he got milk and cookies and this reindeer with a red nose to take him around...

It looks so great! Besides, you'll have this dress all year instead of cookies for just one day. Personally, you got the better deal. Santa got ripped off. :)
You look beautiful! It might have taken some work to get this dress ready but it was well worth it :)
I hope you had an amazing Christmas

I sure as shit didn't get this dressed up for Christmas. I was in jammies all day. You fancy.
Wow. I keep trying to type something else witty or amazing but I just kind of keep coming back to WOW.

Beautiful!! Gotta love those sewing projects that take so much more work than expected...that's why I always rather making things from scratch than doing alterations. I hope you had a great Christmas!
