And I turned it into a better-fitting tunic top by taking in the sides (harder than it looks, due to a mock wrap front that I had to rip out and resew later) and chopping about 8" off the hem.

It's my party and I'll wear refashioned clothes if I want to.
I finished a dress-to-shirt reconstruction last night--needed something new for dinner on Saturday night. (My birthday, one of those milestone ones, so I need to look good!) So I had this oversized thrifted slinky polyester dress with a great print:
And I turned it into a better-fitting tunic top by taking in the sides (harder than it looks, due to a mock wrap front that I had to rip out and resew later) and chopping about 8" off the hem.
It also had this ridiculously long tie, which I chopped off enough of to make a skinny headband by just tying the ends together. Now I just need to figure out if there's anything I can do with 8" wide slinky polyester...

very nice, and 8" slinky polyester may be just the thing to line a new (or an old) handbag or shopper.
Hey you did a great job! I hope you celebrated in style considering it was the big 3-0! Perhaps you could use the rest of the material to make some plastic bottle covered bracelets or something? =)
