Anne Klein gets a face lift

Hello Refashionistas! I am about caught up with all my blogs with this final refashion. I love pink. I am sure if you go to my blog you understand. I found this shift dress at goodwill, again cost was $0.99 (sundays here certain color of the stems for the tags are $0.99, so I tend to shop on Sundays) it was pink and it was an Anne Klein dress. I wanted to try my hand at refashioning woven fabric, since I have not worked with fabric before and I know it can be tricky.

I hemmed the bottom. took up the top (so I wouldn't have to remake armholes which I despise immensely) and made it a V-neck. I also did not take it in, since bringing it up made it fit a little bit better on the curves of my body. I opted for a cream belt with a flower (which btw is a hair clip to hide the buckle of the belt). Here is the end product.

The link for this refashion can be found here. My boyfriend btw when I came out with it on, thought it was really cute, which is something he doesn't say normally, plus he hated the dress when I tried it on for the before picture. So I must have done something right!

This other thing I wanted to include isn't necessarily a refashion but for any of you who have leftover lace (I still have a lace curtain I thrifted), this may be an interesting post for you. :) I had leftover fabric and lace and had just enough to turn it into a top. I made buttonholes in the top to slide a ribbon belt through. Information can be found here.

1 more day until a 3 day weekend. I am very excited! I'm picking out my sewing projects!

XOXOXOXO,
