Just wanted to show off my new thrifted finds… My mom and I went to a thrift shop that’s closed to my house yesterday. I got these chunky gold neckless and a fake pearl ring for about a dollar each.

Thank you for your input on my last post about one-shoulder dress! With the fabric of that dress, I made a skirt as well.
Here is all you need:1. Rectangle fabric, width should be bigger than your hip measurement, and length is your choice. It can be shorten or lengthen.
2. Rectangle fabric, two of them for pockets. I love pockets. I don’t really use them, but I put hands in them, and for some reasons, it is really relaxing to have hands in pocket. Weird, maybe..
3. Waistband, same width as the 1 rectangle fabric.
4. An elastic band. I would use a thick one, mine was about 1.5 inches. Cut it to the measurement of your waist.
One-shoulder dress
A couple of days ago, I wrote about how I wanted to try making a one-shoulder dress. So I put my act together, and sew this up. I know, this is far different from gorgeous Badgley Mischka dresses that I admire, but it is a start. This was my first time making one-shoulder dress. I had not tried making one because I wasn’t attracted to them before. I hope my version of one-shoulder dress don’t look like I’m Miss America or political candidate (it might only be Japan, but they wear this shoulder thing in campaign with their party name on) or something. If so, please tell me! I won’t be offended:p
The base dress is pretty simple. I created a tube top first. I lined it with the same fabric for the fear of seeing through, and on top, added a little loop to go through an elastic band.
The skirt is a circle skirt, I think Burdastyle has a simple how-to of it. I usually cut out a square fabric, fold it twice, then cut the hem so it will be a perfect circle. Then at the other end of the folded square, I cut out a small circle, which is where your waist goes in when wearing it. Then I put the tube top and the skirt together, added a sash that goes around the back, crossing, and tie it on the left side.
