Maternity Dress Refashion

And no I am not pregnant! This was a freecycled dress that I was originally going to toss, but then I looked at it, and felt bad for it, and since we all saw this today on Facebook, and it's all true, here is today's refashion!

But it's a maternity dress alright! See?

Rearranged the straps:

Much better! I was also excited to find a use for that belt I thrifted at the Goodwill outlet!

Also - this is a no sewing machine tutorial! I did it all by hand!
