All-black with DIY items

It was really fun to put this outfit together. The main item is the dress which I wanted to dress up a bit (this was my outfit for Gore Grind fest). The dress itself is too short so I had to put leggings under it. I customized them myself - I just cut a bunch of horizontal stripes across my thighs with scissors, noting difficult. It made them look more edgy and interesting which I like way more than just plain boring black leggings.
The next DIY item is the hoodie. This final look is total coincidence. Originally this hoodie had quite a bunch of rhinestones on its back and on sleeves. I bought it years ago during my mainstream era but I never actually wore it. Now I was wondering if I should throw it away or if I should try to make it cool. So I decided to remove the rhinestones at the first place. I took a sharp knife and tried to remove them this way. Because they were glued pretty tight anytime the rhinestone got removed it took a small piece of fabric with it. When all of those rhinestones were gone the hoodie looked like somebody shot it several times - all holes everywhere. As I looked at it I thought about 2 options I had - either to try to fix the holes or make the holes bigger. I chose the second option. I took a pair of sharp scissors and started stabbing. I had to keep the stabbed area stretched so I could achieve bigger holes. I discovered that more holes I made, the better it looked. So that was the hoodie story.
The next DIY item is the belt.
I always wanted belt with spikes but I could never find it in the shop. When I finally did it was too small for me and of course it was the last piece in the store. That made me give up hope that I will ever find it in the shop but I thought that I could still try to make it myself somehow.
I bought few bags of spikes with holes through them which can be sewed onto something with a needle and  a thread. I also had a textile belt from a dress I wasn't wearing (the belt, not the dress). The next step I did is pretty obvious - I sewed the spikes on the belt. It took me few hours because I tried to make  rows with spikes straight which wasn't that easy but I think it looked pretty cool once it was finished.
The final "top cherry" item are my beautiful New Rocks boots (M 362-S1) which I wear all the time with all outfits because they just fit to everything.
So that' s all to my outfit, I hope you like it and if you have any comments or suggestions, I' d love to hear them.
