I found this super frumpy dress at a local thrift store, where I stuffed
an entire grocery bag (and I mean STUFFED!) for $4! This dress cost me
under a dollar, I am sure. I hated the puffy sleeves, and the
super-frumpy length, but I love the print and the buttons on the front.
The silhouette was super cute too, AFTER I shortened it. :)
Here is the before picture... kinda Amish-looking, right?
But, like I said, I love the print.
After taking the sleeves off, shortening the hem, and finishing all the raw edges, voila! The finished product!
I made a few mistakes, and will admit that due to the consistency of the fabric, this was an incredibly frustrating project! You can see more about how I did this on the original post, on my blog, Em-provising!
