Audrina Patridge Inspires ~ Black Cutout Dress

This was a hot trend last Summer and I think it will run over into this Summer as well.  I'm still on a mission to use fabric that I have first before buying more and this creation stemmed from that!

I have seen Audrina in many similar black cutout dresses and decided to mold them altogether and this dress reminded me of my vision. 

I really like the dress, but the 14, especially with the stretch fabric seemed to run alittle loose for my taste, because even after altering it down in all areas, I think I could have went alittle smaller and increased my bust alittle more.  It's still very wearable though, don't you think?

I will post a vid on my other channel in the next few days regarding how I care for and style my hair (I also show how I professionally color my hair at home!).  You can find all links etc on my youtube channel. 




It's so cold here that my camera was acting up from sitting in the FREEZING COLD laundry room!




Fabric: Purchased years ago, so can't refer you.
Shoes: Guess (faux patent leather)
