Two dresses into two dresses

Too short, optoo... just not me.

This dress had a lot of good things going for it, but it made me always feel like i was on my way to funeral. and the pleats in the front made me look pregnant.

The two dresses lay next to each other by chance and suddenly I could see the solution. I had to start on the refashions that same second, even though I was on my way to bed.

I simply took both dresses apart at the place skirt and bodice were sewn together, flipped the skirts to opposite bodices and sewed them together with their new partners.

Dress 1:
I turned the skirt around, so the pleats are now in the back.
I also made two small pleats to the neckline to gather/raise the neckline slightly.

Dress 2:

 I sewed on a narrow strip of ribbon to the black bodice to merge the skirt and the bodice better.
