Goodwill Dress
Many people who know me, understand that I am one of those people who will wear used clothing. I love going to Goodwill, and searching for dresses that people have outgrown or thrown out, and it is basically how my wardrobe has come to be: hand-me-downs, yay!
Found this dress the other day, and I saw some potential in it:
It was really big on me, the waist was too low, and the hem was too long.
So I cut it above the waist, and took it in a few inches.
I put it on my dress form (forgot about taking pictures) to add the skirt back.
I had to take in the skirt a lot (had to take the pockets off and re-add them too, which was a pain).
After that lovely process, I pinned the skirt to the top, and sewed it all again.
Finished edition: A Summer Sundress!
I'm ready for that warm weather, i.e. tomorrow since it is Louisiana.
