I found this lovely Paisley dress, oh I just loved the fabric! But I hated the lace collar! OMG it looks like something you would see on the prairie back in the day. Hideous!!
It doesn't seem like it even matches with the dress. It also had this funky midsection with pockets. But as you can see is sort of poofs at my hips. Yeah that is a big fat no no. We need to get rid of that. First I took off the collar which was easier said then done. I had to re-attach the lining/interface so I didn't have to re-finsih this dress. Next I took off the bottom portion of the dress, and cut off the middle section with the pockets. Next was tricky, I gathered the new skirt and sewed it to the top portion of the dress while stretching the elastic. WOW that was hard but I finished it and did a happy dance! Here is my final dress!
So far I like it as it. I kept the sleeves b/c I need more long sleeved items. And I liked it without a belt for some reason too! For more on this refashion click here!

I agree with you regarding the collar on that dress but I hope you kept it because I think it would look really cute on a cardigan.
