Skirt to Star Trek Sweater Dress?
I thrifted this sweater knit long skirt with a torn waistband and a
high back slit a couple of years ago at my local thrift store. I
initially thought I could make a cardigan vest out of it. But since I
just LOVE sweater dresses for Fall/Winter, I thought I should try to
turn it into a sleeveless sweater dress.

My
hubby saw me in the dress and asked if I was going to be in the next
Star Trek movie! I guess he thought that it looked too sci-fi/futuristic
with those sleeves that stuck out.
What do you think? Should I redo the sleeves to make them stick out less?

put a logo/communicator badge in position and go with the look!
Really, though, I don't think it looks too Trekkie. Perhaps a belt?

I love, really love your dress. I want to copy it.
As a friend of mine gave me a violet fabric, my dress will be violet with black fabric at collar and sleves.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your comments! I have worn the dress once out already and I have decided to trim the sleeves a bit. I have broad shoulders and back so the sleeves as they are really exaggerate the width even more.
I love the look of this dress. Let us know how you get on with the altered sleeves
