DIY Pin up/ Rockabilly Dress

 I saw this awesome leopard print dress from the little shop of horrors collection on pinupgirlclothing.com (my favourite website) but it was close to $100 with p+p! So, I thought I would try and have a go at creating something similar.  I bought this leopard print midi (below) for just £10 on eBay. It's made from a lovely and soft material, but the neck line was pretty unflattering. 
I put it on, grabbed the scissors and made a cut in the centre of the neck line about 8" down. Then with a needle and thread (still wearing the dress) I gathered the material at the cleavage and began to sew. I then gathered more of the fabric at each side and sewed again! Voilà!! A pinupesk dress created for a tenner!!
