Animal Print, Literally

About six months ago I bought a hideous-slash-awesome dress from Rag-O-Rama for about four dollars. I really loved the print but wasn't sure what to do with it. My sewing machine at the time was still living at my parents' house so I didn't have many options. It was floor-length, up to the neck and had long sleeves. Stuffy, but meow! 100% silk!

Well today I was glancing through my closet for my Fashion Challenge of the Day post (more on that later) and came across it once again. I peered over at my sewing machine for only a moment and suddenly was snipping away. When I came to I had this: a simple and sassy dress for summer.
