If there were a gameshow (now I’m not talking project runway, because I’m NOT up to that par) that took average crafty women and told them to refashion a dress in less than 15 minutes. I’d be game.
For some reason I’ve not really wanted to rock the classic collar, or the 3/4 sleeve, so I chopped the sleeves off the dress and took out the big collar. I really like this dress. Perfect timing to shorten the sleeves right as Autumn is upon us, right? Oh well, I don’t care.
The project was simple; a few snips, some unpicking and voila a slightly new look, but a completely different feel.
Chris is so nice to take all of these photos. Especially when he was just in the middle of a nap. He must like me or something.
I wish I knew you well enough to ask, “Can I borrow this dress next week?”
looking sassy! nice refashion!
this: so flipping adorable
so much so that now i want to do some wardrobe re-vamping
high fives to repurposing! (:
that’s my next venture. . .
You are forever my hero! I can’t wait to come over to your house with my dress! I should send you a picture first so that you can start getting ideas…
that is adorable, if i only had a fraction of your talent…
love the new sleeve length! the belt/boots/necklace accessories look great with it too
love the graphic print & colors. the new touches make it more unique and funky. great idea & great work! i would never suspect the dress didn’t come like that.
Not only could you be a top contender in project runway, you’d rock their socks off.
It looks great. I am assuming you used your sewing machine to finish the edges. Hm, I don’t own a sewing machine and doubt I’d ever use it if I owned one. Ah, well, guess I will live vicariously through you!
Your new dress came out great. I have several sewing projects on the back burner. It doesn’t help that I usually keep the sewing machine in my closet. The thought of lugging it out and clearing a space for it pretty much keeps me from my projects, lol.
Super cute. You’re inspiring me to do some of the things on my list!
What a great dress when you finished with it. I had my doubts form the before picture but you rocked it! Can you make me ALL my clothes please?
