Around the World in 80 dresses: Out of Africa

Hi all, here's my entry for the Around the World in 80 dresses challenge!

Before: one very large polyester skirt with a fantastic African-style print. It had been rather badly abused, the hem was hanging off and there were holes. Thankfully it was not pleated as that can be nigh on impossible to get rid of (ask me how I know).


After: one empire waist dress suitable for a cheeky glass of wine after work!


To see how I made this, check out the details on my blog...

The print is lovely! I like how you were able to use that one stripe right down the middle. Definitely an improvement!
