House Coat Turned Dress

House coats aren't just for lounging at home anymore...a few tweaks and they're ready to wear in public!  Take for instance this house coat...

  

When I spotted it at the thrift store, I loved the soft color and especially the pocket detail.  Moo-moo style house coats aren't really my style, but I knew I wanted to do something with it, even if it was turning it into an apron.  Then I spotted these pajama pants on the same rack...

They matched perfectly!

One more score from the thrift shop...a pattern that had the exact waist detail that

I had envisioned for the dress.

So I put it all together and came up with a feminine frock that's soft and sweet.
