Halloween to NYE

With no luck finding a dress for New Years Eve this year I decided to attempt to alter a dress I wore for Halloween a few years ago. It was a "flapper" type dress I had bought at Wet Seal for $15-20. It had fringe down the middle of the front and was covered in black sequins. It also had spaghetti straps & a square neckline. I removed the straps (with a scalpel to snip the stitches of course since I'm a surg tech, but you could also use a seam ripper), used a needle and thread to scrunch the front into a sweetheart neckline and ta-da: a new dress in a matter of 5 minutes.
