Emerald Green 80s Dress Refashion

I went to the opening of WICKED (the musical) in Melbourne last weekend and wanted to wear an appropriate green coloured dress to wear for the occasion. You only need to look at this funky crepe fabric to know this dress is a classic 80's number ready for a restyle:

I have cut away two longer sleeves to a shorter capped version, and sewn a gathered drawstring style alteration to its long length.  The result is a sort of ruffley scalloped hem.

I love the gathered skirt! What a creative way to remove some length instead of simply chopping it off.
