This gurl loves the coral colored Lauren Moffatt dress and coat, but since they're not really affordable without going into debt, I decided to make one of my own.

Step 1: I Love This Dress

But is waaayyyy out of my price range. So, I decided fo find something similar and make one myself.

Step 2:

I found this dress at Forever 21 for $8.90.

Step 3: What You'll Need

You'll need a dress that is similar in color, fabric paint (I used Tulip--Linen color), a paint brush, card stock, sharpie and a scissor to cut the stencil. I drew the arrows on card stock then cut out the inside.
I simply ironed the dress, laid it on a flat surface with cardboard underneath the layer I was painting, then put the stencil on top and started painting. Tape down or hold the stencil in place. Paint and let dry. The project takes about 2 hours to complete not including the drying time. You can always use a blow dryer if you want to hurry the process along. I let each application dry, laid the stencil down again to attach the arrow to the last group and painted again.

Step 4:

Alternate the second row with the arrows pointed the other direction. Paint three rows. Take your time painting.

Follow the directions on the paint bottle to iron set the paint.
