Fitted From "Straight", Dress

Form-fitted a Straight dress
** I'd like to dedicate this project in loving memory of Sarah Chadwick and Sarah Robinson of Mississippi, US - both cancer patients.***

I wore this dress originally unfitted to my Grandma Chadwick's funeral in Sept of 2007. It was a bought by my Aunt Sarah. She let me borrow it and at the end of my visit, let me take it home. My aunt, Sarah L.Robinson, died of cancer on November 1st, 2009.
I wanted to re-fit this dress because I realized that though I didn't want to change it, If i didn't it would just get thrown away one day. I couldn't let that happen.

I Love You Both.
Till the next time I see you, Rest in Peace. <3
