Newbie One Shouldered Dress Refashion.

I have been a long time fan of refashion co-op and I'm very excited to be a new contributor.  Here is my first "refashion" refashion.  This dress belonged to my mother and she definitely wore it out in the 80's.  I saved it from certain destruction after my parents divorce and have had it in my closet every since.  I just loved the print, color, and the fact that my mother loved it so much.  It wasn't until she had seen the "after" dress that she admitted that my great-grandmother sewed it for her in her 20's.

I knew that I wanted to make it one shouldered and it already had a built in elastic waistband that I used as the new bust line.  It held up great considering this dress is as old as I am.

 Here is the new neckline in progress.

And the end result!!

Happy Refashioning All!!
