Before
After
And here is a sneak preview of what I will be working on next. This vintage dress is frumpy-tastic!, but the floral fabric is gorgeous. It cost me $2 from the op shop.
Firstly the length has to go. I'm thinking of adding some elastic to the waistline. What do you think I should do with it re-fashioners? Should I do anything with the sleeves?

Great save with the shorts!
Hm ... I love that collar [but I love most collars, I have a collar fixation] and would be tempted to pair it with a coordinating skirt, vintage style. Maybe make it sleeveless and use bias strips made from the skirt material to bind the armholes to tie the whole outfit together?
EOD/Jessica ;-).
I always like to cuff my sleeves a little higher; you have nice arms so why not end the sleeves just below your deltoids/the ball of your shoulder?
I'd use some of the extra dress length to make a casing and self drawstring so that you can do a cinched or bloused waist. Or a fun ruffle?
they look great, love the new blog, not sure if I am game enough to contribute though!
Go on Tracey, give it a go and contribute your refashions! We're all a friendly bunch =)

Yes definitely some elastic or shirring at the waist and I would cut the sleeves very short - almost so they go to nothing at the armpits. Love this new blog incidentally.
