The $3 Dress

I went to the fabric store a week ago and found a 99-cent bin where I found this:

Mmm...2.5 yards and fabric goodness.
"What to make, what to make?"
 Here's my version of the Abu Dahbi dress. Whadya think? 
Looks more like the dress on the right, no?
What I reeeeally wanted was that it look like the one on the left.


It's a little sheer and a little short! I'll figure some way to pull it off and show you in my next
closet diary entry.

Hugs all around.
