Polka Dot Dress

This absolutely free polka dot dress fit me fairly well, except that the sleeves were a bit tight. The length was also a little dowdy. I just can't say no to polka dots though!

Brown Polka Dot Dress - Before

I cut off the sleeves and finished the armhole edges. I trimmed several inches from the skirt length and gave that a new hem as well. Then I discovered the buttons had a habit popping open, so I decided to stitch the button band closed and add a zipper in the side seam. Success!

    The dress is great, love the polka dots. Putting in a side zip is a clever idea
