Two words - THIS DRESS!! New Dress A Day - DIY - Vintage Dress - Before - Eyelet Sleeves - 137

From the looks of it, it's a bit crazy but with a small adjustment this is going to become one of my favorite new pieces!!

With my trusty scissors, I began to cut the eyelet fabric that was attached to inside the dress.  It was attached towards the bottom of the yellow sleeve fabric.

I've been totally obsessed with the pizza commercials showing the extra cheesy crusts!  I can't ever validate ordering one on my own for just me, but I can partake when they're ordered for a party!!  I had to finally dig into that crust that was making me salivate with each Pizza Hut commercial that ran during the NBA playoffs!

The consensus...pretty good!  I had a few of those crust bites before taking the stage with the birthday gal.
