Dress #1 -Adding jewels to a store-bought dress


My first dance dress was one I found at a ballet costume website (http://www.discountdance.com).
I got the largest dress they had which was a “large”. I'm a size 12 and it barely fit. I then went to the junk jewelery store in the mall that caters to 12 year olds. I found a big, gaudy crystal necklace. Pulled it apart and sewed the beads around the neckline of the dress. Photo on the right shows the dress before the jewels. Photo on the left was wearing the dress for the Dancing with the Stars 2008 road show pre-show entertainment contest.
