I found this collared dress that was too big. It is such a flowy dress, and the collar didn't really jive with the flowy-ness. Also the armholes were huge. I took the shoulder seams in by about 3 inches to raise the armholes and the hem. Then I cut off the neckline and did a bias finish. Instant bathing suit coverup! Read more of my sewing on my blog,

This shirt was too small.
This shirt was too big.
But this shirt is just right!

Contrasting hem, to be worn over dresses or high waisted skirts. Not sure how to style thatskirt yet! Perhaps shorter, it's a really strange pattern and PLEATS!
Hey folks !
Long time, sorry.
Today's refashion is for our annual family Murder Mystery. My role was aviator lady in a 1920's circus. So I wanted a nice aviator-style jacket.
My costume started with this beauty:
And ended with this:
A lot of fun was had and we will do it next year too !

Yes this polo is huge! I converted it to a dress. I used a sleeve to make the bodice. I made a skirt from the bottom portion of the dress, I pleated it and also added some elastic.
The end product was a fun halter dress I wore to a festival here in DC. For more information on this refashion

Cheers,
