Flared Dress Refashion

Before: A flared/A-Line dress with button-up bodice.

After : A Body-skimming column dress

This was an easy fix as I don't have much to alter. The upper bodice had a snug fit, so I left that intact. I took in few inches of the side seams to make a straight narrow shape. Then, I ripped the sleeves off and finished the raw edges with bias tape (made from the sleeves).

It really is just that simple!

It's not only comfy but super easy to make!

Simple Refashion: Dress to Skirt

A very simple refashion this time which (admittedly) done in desperate rush because I'm few days late to post my latest refashion on Refashion Co-op. So, here it is.


Before: A thrifted shirt dress with cute floral prints. I particularly like the contrasting stripe prints on the sleeves, neckline and button placket. It has a pretty good fit so I initially planned to left everything intact and just cut a good length of the hem. But the new hem doesn't make the dress look anywhere better. So, I decided to turn it to skirt instead.

Another Vintage Dress Refashion

What I loved about this vintage dress was the lovely zig zag mod prints. It had quite a nice fit so no major alternation needed. But the elastic was way worn out, the sleeves looked awful, and it definitely needed a new hem. Tweaked these three, and I got myself a new dress :)

See how I did it on my blog.

Refashion: Knit Dress to Top

I used to love and wore this dress a lot, it was made from soft knit fabric and it has this lovely crochet trimming over the bodice. But it loses its snug over time. So, I decided to refashion it to a fitted top.

Check out my blog, Made by Evyline for more details and how-to :)

Dress to Butterfly Sleeve Top

This dreary old Forever21 dress has a lovely bohemian prints that I really love, but it looks outdated with peasant bodice and full skirt . So I'm going to tweak things a little to give it a fresh new look.

I initially thought to make it a fitted sleeveless top, but the bohemian prints are too pretty to cut up, so I decided to make something that requires the least fabric waste possible, and the perfect choice would be a butterfly sleeve top!

Dress Refashion: Floral Top

I made this top from a dress that I thought I could fit into, but turned out to be a bit too tight for my liking. So, since it didn't fit me well, I decided to give it a whole new look.

This is my very first project for Refashion Co-op, and I would like to thank you the wonderful editors of RC for continuing the effort to create a space dedicated to refashioning. Thank you!
It's rather a simple refashioning i'm afraid - no major alteration. Here's the before and after.

A simple refashion it might be, but I'm sure you agree that even a small minor alteration can change the whole look-from frumpy outdated to freshier look . I love how it turned out :)
