I hacked off the sleeves, as well as some of the bottom length. I ripped out the shoulder pads. I took both sides in about 2". I decided to use a portion of the cut off bottom as a sash. Viola! I was done!
As it was a bit chilly, I paired it with one of my favorite cardis that I scored for a buck at the same thrift store as the dress. :)
It's not quite as fun without the cardigan, but it is super comfy, and I'll definitely wear it again. :)

ps that dress is a great colour on you and I really like it without the cardi. From the picture, it looks great!
great refashion and lovely styling with the cardi!
Thanks, Guys! I'm trying to make more "work-friendly" clothes for my summer wardrobe. :) It's nice when work clothes can be fun. -Jillian, EOD
great refashion!!!
What a brillaint make over. And a fab colour on you!
LOVE this! Day dresses that are comfy AND cute? Yes please! great project, thanks for sharing
Yey I love it without the cardi too! Great work.
I'm so glad that you left the sleeves longish. Your pics show me that a just above the elbow sleeve can do wonders to update a dress. It seems as if most refashions completely hack off the sleeves and while those refashions turn out awesome I find myself with a shortage of ideas for dresses and tops with longer sleeves.
