My adorable little niece was my model for this refashion.
Original ↴
What I did:
1. Cut the dress to her length (about 20 inches off), zig-zagged the edges and hemmed it.
2. Tapered in the bodice area to fit.
3. Moved up the pockets. Unstitched and restitched into place.
4. Made a little belt out of the excess fabric.
Result! ↴
Side by side
This dress is great because it can be worn as a looser shift dress or with a little belt to be little more girly.
Adorable! It looks fantastic on her :) Actually, I wouldn't mind having a dress like that ;)

Super cute!
ReplyDeleteI take it, you brought up the pockets a bit higher as well for her?
ReplyDeleteIf it wouldn't be for her smile, I'd probably steal it from her = 'pink envy' :-D
Weeell, she definitely looks muuuch better in it than I'd do = 'pink envy' here as well ;-) !
