Vintage Leslie Fay dress refashion

After we moved, I have come to realize how much vintage clothing I actually have. Unfortunately I couldn't wear some of it, because it needed to be altered or refashioned! So I decided to start with this vintage Leslie Fay dress:

I got it at Savers last fall, and never wore it because of the neckline, or should I say the lack of it :) So, that collar was the first thing to go:

Then I cut a good chunk off the bottom, lets be honest, I still got some killer leg to show ;)

I hemmed the raw edges using some vintage navy colored trim that I had, making this dress perfect for the 4th of July!
