Then more I post the more I realize I love dresses😬 Almost all my refashions are dresses haha. Anyhoo.. When I found this dress I was in love with the style and pattern of it.
Unfortunately when I washed the dress the adorable collar got really dingy:( so it had to go as well as the giant shoulder pads. After I removed the shoulder pads the sleeves were still too much for me. I cut them off as well as a couple inches off the bottom:) I paired it with my vintage pearls and a white belt.
Here's another angle:)
It has pockets!!
Oh on a side note: I am thinking about getting a dress form. The only issue is that I'm in between sizes. The ones I've found are either medium size 6-8 or large size 12-14. My measurements are closer to the 6-8 but since the dress form is smaller than me will I run into issuer? Thanks for looking and check out my blog if you want to see more step by step photos and more refashions! Click here:)
My dress form was a bit too small in certain areas, so I ordered a padding kit! It helped me make the form more true to my size. That might be an option to consider! I looovvveee my dress form. Worth every penny!
ReplyDeleteSuper cute dress BTW :)
Oh nice! I didn't know that was a thing! thanks!
DeleteI have an adjustable dress form, which is great. But, I still had to do some padding to make it more my size. So, the dress form wears a bra (stuffed, of course) and Spanx-like slip thing (also stuffed to make the bum more curvy). That way I didn't have to buy the kit. Works great!
ReplyDeleteOh nice! I was looking at the adjustable ones but I really don't want to spend almost 200$ (shipping included) I am now thinking of attempting to make my own!
DeleteThis dress is super cute! Great refashion. : )
ReplyDeleteThanks it's one of my favorites:)
DeleteVery cute. It looks so fresh and modern now.
ReplyDeleteI put a stretchy cami on my dress form and added padding to make it my size. I used my tape measure to make sure the measurements were the same. The cami keep the padding in all the right places.
Thanks I'll definitely have to keep it in mind!
DeleteI love this refashion -- very cute and modern. I love the addition of the white belt and necklace. Great job.

P.S. I have a decorative dress form, but I use it to hang shirts and dresses when I need to pin and tuck stuff. The dress form isn't definitely my size but it's great to see how a refashion is turning out.
That's basically what I'm going to be using it for, and thank you I love accessories!
