A forties style dress from a nineties dress


After: A forties style shirtwaist with a six gore skirt.


Before: A nineties dress


I have been participating in some of the weekly challenges at Sew Weekly. This weeks challenge was to refashion an old and neglected garment. This dress above started out as a shirtdress from the 90's. It was really long and boring looking before I refashioned it  We went to the old Fillmore train station near our home to take these photos. To see more about my transformation check out my blog. Thanks!

Great recon-- the print fits the new style so much better than the old one.
