Paisley Park

Check out this picture of me looking amazing...

...ly awful! Yikes! My less-than stylish growing-out 'do isn't helping, but neither is that terrible dress! I loathed the velvet-lined collar and cuffs, but really dug that paisley print! I know it's really dated nowadays, but I still love paisley prints! :)


Anywho...I carefully seam-ripped the collar off, chopped off the sleeves, and hacked off a bit of the length. After sewing all of my raw edges under and restoring the neck, I was all set for a typical Wednesday! :)

As it was a bit chilly out, I donned leggings and my favorite thrifted army sweater to keep me cozy!



You can see the full version of how I remade this dress right here.

Cheers! :)

I'm also a big fan of paisley! It's amazing what a huge difference chopping off the collar and part of the sleeves can make.
