Woman's Dress to Girl's Dress...


Hi, Pam here from Threading My Way.

This would have to be the quickest refashion ever. Here's how to turn a woman's dress into a dress for a young girl...

Take a pre-loved woman's dress, made from stretch fabric:
  • cut several inches off at the shoulders
  • redo the neckline
  • take it in at the waist
  • re-hem the bottom 

Adjust the shoulders and neckline:


Redo the waistline:

Re-hem the bottom:


As well as extending the life of a garment, albeit in a different form, I view refashioning as a way I can experiment with sewing, stepping out of my comfort zone and breaking the sewing rules I was taught many moons ago.
