    I modified these shoes! My best friend got married in these (somewhat last minute - I had two days to do it, finished in one):

    These were mine:

    I bought the lace and the shoes, rough-cut the lace, painted the lace, glued it on, and then trimmed it and touched up the outside panels. Not the insides tho. I ran out of time. (I did have more warning for these - even with a couple weeks after they came in, tho, I finished the day of.)

    Thanks to @theprettiestboy for all his help finding the paint, designing the changes, and painting the first layer of teal with me. Also for showing me how to modify my maid of honor dress to have actual chest support. It worked really well!

    I'm trying to get into clothes making, only "successful" project I've ever done was a hand sewn skirt that immediately ripped and started falling apart at the seams the first time I tried wearing. Still trying!

    Anyways I came here to show y'all my favorite dress making YouTube channel! They focus more on great dresses out of cheap fabrics but also have some really cool unconventional pieces I love like making a dress out of flowers or another one was done with dollar store wrapping paper and gift bags from dollar tree and I Love them

    They also do how to technique videos and gentle, hours long streams of them working with calm music in the background
