#13 Back to School: Dress Refashioned AGAIN!!! with New Trim

 #13 for ack to School.

*I am a "retire / rehire". Retired from University and Rehired into an Elementary School
*I pledge not to buy any new RTW or thrifted for my new "Back to School" wardrobe.  
*I pledge to shop from my closet.

BEFORE: 

• The dress for this Refashion was made MANY years ago from a flowered dress & black/white dotted cotton fabric.
• The First Refashion is too small now
• Wide black trim is from the stash

STEPS: 

• Remove flowered fabric from the hemline.
• Add a flowered gusset in the side seams to enlarge the dress bodice.
• Shorten the drop waist by 1 inch. Waist dips in front & back.  
• Add the black trim to the hemline.
• Restitch the wider black dotted neckline to make a thinner binding trim

AFTER:

• An easy Refashion that put this dress back into the school days rotation.
