From Frumpy to Fab!

The project I'm going to share today is actually my second project.  I'm so excited about it I couldn't keep it under wraps.  So I bumped it to the front of the line!  Here it is... check out the before:
 
Before

I started by chopping off the top portion of the dress, folding over the raw edge and stitching it up.


After I pressed the newly sewn seam, I turned the piece upside down, stepped into it and tied it at the shoulder.  This caused the hemline to become asymmetrical, which was all part of my plan.  I added a belt and voila!  This piece went from frumpy dress into a hot little number!



Before & After:
