That's a riot, Linda....the balloon effect on a mini is not something I have often seen. Maybe your daughter can get some arm tattoos!!!

No, I think I will just paste them on my mannequin.:D

I wish Amanda would come up and model some of these for me. She has a tatoo on her lower back that wouldn't show but she has a flower on top of one foot. Guess I could get her to hold one foot in the air...lol.

Linda, do you think you could get away with calling this a "bustier" or "bustier-look" bodice? The shaping on the top, following the bustline rather than the straight-across lines you often associate with strapless, along with its very body-hugging fit, really does remind me of the bustier look popular in the 80s. That would be a KW I'd think would catch attention.

Very sassy dress, and a good maker's label, too!

Hey, I am willing to try anything. Thanks!

Very cute! I would have desperately wanted this dress in the 80s!
