FASHION | D.I.Y 
So a little background info on this dress. Once upon a time in a State called New York, a black tube top dress with a gilttery polka dotted loose skirt was bought by a man for his daughter. Not appericating this hidden treasure, the daughter threw the dress in a dark lonely closet, never to be seen for two whole years. On the Canadian thanksgiving holiday on the third year, a young woman from Canada saw this sad and un-worn piece of clothing and she thought, 'I see something in this, something that others may have missed!' and took the dress back to Ontario with her.The end.

Now on to the dress.
I turned this:
  into this

How you ask? All you need is a strong thin belt (mine was gold metal) and a few safety pins.
All I did was take the long-ish skirt and pulled it up over the tube top and safety pinned it. It should make your body look like a rectangle. Then, simply fasten the belt where ever you want great curves. I made my breasts look bigger by fastening the belt right under my bra.

Make sure that the skirt is long enough to pull over the top, otherwise it just looks trashy. This outfit would work for Fancy dinners, birthday's and family friendly events. This dress is really fun and can be made out of pretty much any tube dress with a flowing skirt. Because it's so quick and easy, it's ideal for those fast trips or last minute outfits you need, but do not have the time to shop for. Its quick, easy and cheap!
