Before: Loving that fabric with pretty butterflies and ladybirds... but the dress itself was actually really frumpy, boring, and an odd shape, I doubt very much it would have fit a size 16, probably a 10 top, and 14 hip.
Butterflies and ladybirds 
Frumpy and boring
Vintage Size 16, but not modern day size 16 During: I used a dress from my wardrobe as a template to cut around...
Suprisingly, I didnt have to cut much off?...and used the excess fabric to make a ruffle on the shoulder:
Ruffly detailThe belt is from another op shop, and cost 50c, I used more excess material for a tie around the middle.
The frumpy vintage dress, turned into one fit for the races... except I'm not going to the races... but it will do for a birthday party I am going to at the end of the month.

Those are some great shoulder ruffles, great to find such a nice print in silk, cant say no to that!! Cushions were great too. You have such an eye for fabrics.

I spotted you on WR and love, love, love what you've done with your butterfly dress! The ruffles are insanely gorgeous and you've made the dress fit you perfectly. I'm inspired and following you:).
