Marc Jacobs-esque, black ruffled New Year's top

I had a bunch of black satin left over from my black vintage evening gown so I thought I’d spice it up a bit by adding some fancy satin accents to it. I think the end result has something of a 70s tuxedo feel to it.

So I kept it at the back of my mind all this time and made it a reality in time to wear it on New Year’s Eve!

(It’s got a lot more shape than it appears in these photos, honest! I got loads of compliments on it at the party…)
