Then more I post the more I realize I love dresses😬 Almost all my refashions are dresses haha. Anyhoo.. When I found this dress I was in love with the style and pattern of it.
Unfortunately when I washed the dress the adorable collar got really dingy:( so it had to go as well as the giant shoulder pads. After I removed the shoulder pads the sleeves were still too much for me. I cut them off as well as a couple inches off the bottom:) I paired it with my vintage pearls and a white belt.
Here's another angle:)
It has pockets!!
Oh on a side note: I am thinking about getting a dress form. The only issue is that I'm in between sizes. The ones I've found are either medium size 6-8 or large size 12-14. My measurements are closer to the 6-8 but since the dress form is smaller than me will I run into issuer?

My dress form was a bit too small in certain areas, so I ordered a padding kit! It helped me make the form more true to my size. That might be an option to consider! I looovvveee my dress form. Worth every penny!
Super cute dress BTW :)
Oh nice! I didn't know that was a thing! thanks!
I have an adjustable dress form, which is great. But, I still had to do some padding to make it more my size. So, the dress form wears a bra (stuffed, of course) and Spanx-like slip thing (also stuffed to make the bum more curvy). That way I didn't have to buy the kit. Works great!
This dress is super cute! Great refashion. : )
Oh nice! I was looking at the adjustable ones but I really don't want to spend almost 200$ (shipping included) I am now thinking of attempting to make my own!
Thanks it's one of my favorites:)
Very cute. It looks so fresh and modern now.
I put a stretchy cami on my dress form and added padding to make it my size. I used my tape measure to make sure the measurements were the same. The cami keep the padding in all the right places.
I love this refashion -- very cute and modern. I love the addition of the white belt and necklace. Great job.

P.S. I have a decorative dress form, but I use it to hang shirts and dresses when I need to pin and tuck stuff. The dress form isn't definitely my size but it's great to see how a refashion is turning out.
Thanks I'll definitely have to keep it in mind!
That's basically what I'm going to be using it for, and thank you I love accessories!
