The background looks fantastic and the top looks well-constructed, but I'm out of positive thinking - that is odd looking. I can see how it would seem like it should turn out unique and lovely, though. I just went through my closet and donated two garbage bags of clothes to Goodwill. A number of items were well-intentioned homemade pieces: overly stiff ankle length satin skirts, a very priestly looking black full length jacket, various tops whose tongues of interfacing spew out when worn in polite company. I went through a phase when I believed all sleeves should be belled or have a lace edge that covered half of the hand (I thought it was Romantic). I feel badly for even donating some of these wayward pieces, but I know they'd make great costumes for some kind of ludicrous Clue-type characters.
Maybe you should have hung on to that priestly looking full length jacket. It would have been just the thing to wear with my nun skirt.
I shudder at many memories of outfits past. It's such a relief to take all those things out of the closet and release them in an act of charity. I feel like a new person after a good closet purge.

Perhaps I shouldn't admit this, but I like this.
