Hello Refashion Co-op. I found this dress at a thrift store and fell in love with the fabric. It looked like an Impressionist painting. But did it fit well? No, no it did not.
Before and after.
I separated the top and the skirt. I wanted 2 pieces I could wear more often.
I used a straight skirt that fit well and used it as a "pattern". I thought a less full skirt would work for me so I cut out the pieces. The hem was already there so this was a fast skirt.
I added an elastic waistband.
The dress had a zipper down the back so I sewed the back shut. I can put it on over my head.
The neckline gaped a little so I made 2 little pleats and added a couple buttons to jazz it up.
I can wear these 2 pieces together or separate. Thanks for reading along, for more pictures and details go to I Can Work With That.
