Finally(!) I got my sewing machine fixed (at the small cost of $100 - ouch!) which means that I finally(!) got to finish the sewing project that I started weeks ago. So as you might remember I said that I went thrifting with my friend Mary I bought a dress (for just $3), a dress that needed some serious alterations. So that is just what I did, I shortened the dress and sleeves, removed the collar and made the neckline different. To be fair, the dress is quite a few sizes too big for me, which you can still tell in the top part.
Well I don't really know if I'll wear it a lot - I mean I do think it is quite cute now but I don't really know how I feel about it altogether. That said, I had fun altering it because if there was no real pattern so it was all about what I wanted to do and no real way to do it (that) wrong.
What do you think?!
wow!! great work! like it waaaay better and with the belt! :)
ReplyDeleteNice, T! Tights and a cardigan for work?
ReplyDeleteIt's quite short, and rather see-through. I'm thinking it'll be an alright addition to my summer wardrobe.
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing job =) It doesn't even look like the same dress!
ReplyDeleteI think that looks pretty darn good!
ReplyDeleteI should give credit to Mary for finding it and making me try it on.
