Master of Recon

The sad thing about trusting some local shop to make your evening gown is, when it's time to pay, their work is often below par.
It comes like a stab in the heart if you're not happy with what you get, especially when it's a one of a kind fabric, adorned with many hours of hand work, already pricey on its own.

Enough said, it was a heartache to see how it turned out. So, after its debut performance on mom, it went into the cupboard until my teacher saw it and said, "Lets reconstruct it. What a waste of beautiful fabric.".

So one Sunday, I gathered up the courage to do this....
This is what I think should be.....

Look at its details....
With the help of this beautiful thread.....

A dress for me magically appeared a week later.
