Trouser Dress!

Take a lookie look at what I made from a pair of size 40 men’s trousers I bought for 50 cents!



I cut the top part into a pearish shape and added an elastic waist. Then I made an Obi belt out of the fabric from the legs to cover the ugly elasto-waistband…almost a completely No-Waste refashion!



I wore a simple LBD under my new skirt, and voila! The whole thing looks like a dress. I suppose it doesn't realllllly count for the 'Around the World in 80 Dresses' challenge, but it's still pretty cool!




This was inspired by a line of trouser dresses I saw a while back online, but I CAN'T remember the name of the designer, and my Googling has been for naught. :( Do any of you guys know what I'm talking about/ who the designer of some nifty trouser dresses is?

You can see a bit more about this on my blog, ReFashionista.

I am sooo glad somebody made this! And you made it so well! I did post about it here for inspiration at the beginning, it does come from milch.
