I wanted to try out a new technique of twisting a pattern to create a starburst. Now, you know what a problem I have morally with people who take stretch fabric and gather it here and there and call it a dress, but my gathering and draping on this hooded halter is completely drafted and intentional, meaning all the gathers and all the lines are exactly where I told them to be.
After choosing the fabric, I thought who better to bring out the dangerous curves than Private Benjamin. She grew up in couture and would be the first to take a military uniform and turn it into something inappropriate. The shorts are actually made out of an old pair of my jeans. I loved those jeans so much that I literally wore holes into them, but didn't want to throw them away. I think the distressed edges really make the piece.
