Vintage Dress 2

 Hello Refashion Co-op. I had a few vintage dresses that I wanted to update so that I could wear them out in public for my regular activities. This is the second dress I refashioned. 

Before and after.

This light weight cotton house dress was super comfortable but it wasn't very flattering.

I wanted to make this dress into separates because I loved the colors and the fabric so much, I wanted to be able to wear it as much as possible. 

I hemmed the top so it would not fray.

 

 I also added elastic in the ends of the sleeves.I unpicked a few stitches and threaded the elastic through to make a puffed sleeve.

I used a zigzag stitch to attach the elastic to the skirt. 

I really liked how this turned out. Thanks for reading along, for more details and pictured go to I Can Work With That.
