A few weeks ago the husband and I went to see Alton Brown live! Such an awesome experience deserves an equally awesome refash!
This is where my before picture would normally be but I do not have one...I was POSITIVE I had one but when I looked through my archives...I discovered that I did not :(
I have been holding onto this dress for the past year just waiting for the perfect opportunity to refash it.
Just imagine this heap of watermelon fabric as a floor length long sleeved dress...Holy Watermelon Batman!
So, it only makes sense to wear food themed clothing to see the culinary genius, Alton Brown!
Said goodbye to the shoulder pads!
I cut my dress 3 inches above the original skirt seam.
I folded over the excess 3 inches to make a casing for some elastic.
Threaded through my elastic using my trusted bodkin!
All ready to go!!!
A peak at the Fox Theater in Detroit: 
Ahhhh it's Alton Brown!!! He's amazing!!!
His shirt says "Detroit Vs. Everybody" Right on Alton, Detroit pride!
Happy Refashioning!!!!

I love the watermelon, but a floor length dress with shoulder pads sounds like too much. The skirt is cute.
I love Alton Brown too! My hubby and I saw him last year when he was in Iowa. Fabulous show. Love the refashion. Fun and vibrant!
Cute skirt and the outfit looks great on you!
Cute new skirt. I love the fun print but all over it would be too much.
