Tartan


This was my very first refashion ever - it's actually one of the better ones!
I bought the dress at a thrift shop (judging from the lovely shoulder pads it must be from the 80s), turned it back to front, tweaked the sides, cut the arms and the length, changed the neckline. The first time I wore it a woman came up to me in the airport security line and told me that she loved my dress. Her compliment has spurned me on.

LOVE IT! I love the transformation of this dress - well done.

I think the finished dress looks awesome. My only question is about the buttons now going down the back - are they functioning or can you pull the dress on over your head or via some other means?
