I found this Laura Ashley dress in a thrift store and had already cut off the puffy sleeves and lace collar before I remembered to take a photo. Here I am, holding the sleeve on so you can get an idea of the 'before'.I remember this style from the late 80's.
Already so different. A lot can be done in refashioning garments just by cutting stuff off, whether sleeves or length or whatever.
So I made it into a jumper, as Americans say. Or a pinafore if you are Australian.

I don't know if I am completely happy with the neckline. Square might have been better.
Love your new jumper. I bought several L Ashley dresses in the 80s, some of which I still have. One has been refashioned into a skirt - a jumper is a great idea!
