Sometimes you want to go to prom in a strapless dress. And sometimes you don’t have a prom to go to but you want to make and wear that prom dress anyway, only you don’t have any black duchesse silk you only have lime green cotton canvas, and sometimes you make the strapless sheath dress sort of the wrong length so instead you decide to turn it into a strapless corset top with a coordinating full-length skirt, and then you are so ready to go to prom that you can barely contain yourself but you still don’t have one to go to so you try to make your own party by painting a really big flower with metallic fabric paint right smack on the lime green cotton canvas corset top. This was one of those times.
