Rockabilly Wiggle Dress

I salvaged an unfinished dress and gave it new life :)

Last year, I attempted to make a pencil dress (wiggle dress) and failed miserably because I don't follow directions well and tried to wing it. A couple of days ago, I decided to try again but this time I was armed with more knowledge and more patience and the result is fantastic if I do say so myself. The bodice of the new dress was made from the skirt portion of the old dress. Once it was put together and the darts were added, I used an existing store bought dress I have to add in the curves to make the dress more fitted.
