J. Crew Dress for Less

One of my new favorite blogs, Pin Tuck and Ruffles, gave me a novel idea. You can have cute dress and not pay $200 for it! Amazing! All you have to do is sew it yourself. I found that easier said them done. Nonetheless, I found this totally cute J.Crew dress and decided to give it a try. I did cheat (just a little) and used a pattern for the shape of the dress. And after much altering, here is the finished project!

I couldn't have done it with out my dear husband who pinned me into the dress, and my wonderful mother-in-law who made it fit right.
