project: silver wrap-around dress d.i.y

When I realised I had nothing to wear for a night out a couple of weeks ago I remembered a project I had seen on my favourite D.I.Y website a pair & a spare. Geneva's version of this cut out dress is a lot more summery; she used a gorgeous bright printed fabric and raffia for the tie strings. I used a long silver skirt that I purchased from a vintage stall at a festival (you have already seen it here). I had already shortened it previously so all I had to do to was use the excess fabric for the wraparound top. I really love the metallic fabric, wish I had some more of it.

You can see above that I may have had a little bit of extra help from a few safety pins! What do you think of the dress? Have you customised any clothing recently?
