Summer DIY-1: drape silk dress~

First DIY dress this year for summer~
I got this beautiful stretch silk from Banksville Designer Fabric store cost about $18.99/yard. I'm a dress size 2, and it's a pretty simple dress, so It didn't cost much.
It came out better than I thought, so I have three looks with the same dress.

A fix upper dress!

I got this little black dress from ZARA special edition last year when it was on sale for $19. But after wash the trim wasn't as neat as it before and I tried to iron it and it didn't work. So it's been sleeping in my closet for quite some time, and I've been thinking of a way to make it shine again.
So here is what I did.
1) sew the trim with double red thread.
2) sew some sequins to high light the neck line.

So here is the Ominipaque ivy bouquet, To all folks who work in radiology~~
