I got this awesomely ugly 90s dress for only .99 cents. That's my "rule." I never go over $1 when I'm scouting out refashions.
This just needed a few tweeks to make it "cookout" worthy for the holiday. I put it on my homemade dress form and took it in. I also raised the shoulders a little bit, and I seam ripped off those horrible side ties and decorative buttons.
Next, I did a bit of cutting...
I finished that raw bottom hem with my favorite hem of all time: A rolled hem.
Easy peasy. And, this one is easily a new favorite :) If you'd like to see a more detailed description of what I did, feel free to see my original post.
Happy Refashioning!

Welcome to the Refashion Co-op! I look forward to more of your refashions! I'm so jealous that you're able to find great finds for $1 or less -- I have a hard time finding great steals likes that. Great refashion -- I would wear the dress all the time.

Looks great, well done! I can only join Jennifer in being jealous about $1.00 finds. Looking forward to more of your work!
Love your ''new'' dress. I have ugly 90s dress as well , even little similar, you gave me nice idea, thank you!
Thanks, girls :) If you all have a local Goodwill close by, they're the ones that run .99 cent sales on Sunday. Just fyi :)
