Superhero is what I feel like when I wear this dress/tunic/cape thingy.  Except I will most likely run instead of fight evil, just like the Justice League of Big Bang Theory.  (Did anyone see that episode?  I looove that show and am so happy Jim Parsons won Golden Globes for his stellar performance as Sheldon)

Dress was made through trial and error.  I cut out a circle skirt, draped it on my body, poked holes for a belt loop, ended up sewing the side flaps shut for less fabric bulk on the sides, and adjusted the shoulders to fit. This dress has been getting quite a bit of wear from me since it is very comfortable and I feel very comfortable in it. 



Total cost: $1.50 (for fabric from Walmart)

Also wearing: 
Leggings and necklace from Forever 21
Shoes bought on Ebay

Next project.....
This Suzy Chin Wrap Dress Butterick 5320 in a Navy suiting fabric.  It will be perfect for my "work" wardrobe I've been trying to build.
