I loved the print, and the pretty mirrored neckline and cuffs! Unfortunately, I have no use for a kaftan. I cut of the arms and the length, as it's quite warm here in SC right now. I took the whole thing in on both sides. I was able to make it nice and fitted, thanks to the sturdy metal zipper in the back. I hemmed all the raw edges, and ended up with my faaaaaavorite refashion I've ever done!
I have a serious crush on this dress. We're talking true love here, and I never want to take it off!
You can see the full tutorial on how I transformed this sweet sweet dress here. I'm soooo happy Spring weather has arrived! Warm weather refashions are so much fun, don't you think? :)

I have to tell you how much I enjoy your before and after photos. Like a true 'before' pic your facial expression is not so happy, and your after is beautiful. UNlike true before and after pics your transformation is really great! Thanks for sharing.

super cute!! Love the transformation!
Love the print on that dress what a great score for $1!
That is gorgeous!! Nice job!
Oh I love it!! Well done Jillian!
So beautiful! Do you have enough fabric left from the sleeves and such to make a little bolero shrug to go with it? I think that would make it burst out of the awesome scale on the upper end :)

Another triumph!
Great! Beautiful dress indeed!
@poet - You've read my mind! I completely intend on making a bolero for this dress so I can wear it in the fall! :)
Thanks for the really nice comments, everybody! I was sad to take this dress off, and can't wait to wear it again! :)
