Dragonfly Dress

I snatched up this bright aqua housedress at the thrift store a few months back for $3. The shape (or lack thereof) is terrible, but the color and adorable embroidery on the skirt really called to me.

I chopped off the top and made straps from the remnants. I also added a couple bust darts and took in the sides quite a bit to give it a shape less... rectangular. And now I'm all set for summer!
