The Daffodil Dress

Before: thrift store dress ($1) - a bit matronly


After
(Sorry for the less than spectacular pictures - trying to take pictures while home by myself. I may have to break down and get a tripod and remote)

This is such a cute after!!! When I first saw the before I was a little worried that it couldn't ever be cute ;) You did a great job! Way to see the potential!

This is so cute - I doubt I would have seen the potential in your 'before' dress but it really turned out great!

Really nice!!!! I love the daffodils!
I just bought a dress with a similar style (not the cute pattern however) Might have to try this.
Thanks for sharing!
