Wrap dress extension




I'm pleased to contribute my first post to the Refashion Co-op!
A friend of mine gave me this great wrap dress, but the skirt barely overlapped. It was a windy day disaster waiting to happen. I cut and sewed in an extra panel to give the skirt extra coverage. Now I can wear it without flashing people!

Welcome aboard! I love a good practical refashion, and very well executed! I can't even tell it wasn't like that to begin with!

Such a good idea! Why has this never occurred to me before??? Thank you for posting because I've got a dress that needs this ;)

Welcome! I love the colour combo too. You get the great look of a wrap dress without the hazards of a wrap dress. Great job!
