Animal Print Dress Refashion

December 15, 2014 By Mary Peterson 4 Comments

Hello Everyone!

.

Sometimes it really is as easy as you think! Check out this after! Her you see it with my leggings and ballet flats ready for work, but I have also worn it with boots and jeans! I love it!

It started out as this very unfortunate yet once expensive dress by Carole Little. It had a horrible handkerchief hem!

All I had to do was cut off the awful bottom and 1/4″ top stitch a new hemline and I was ready to go!

      Hi Jo! Yes, I am partial to animal prints ha ha! I hope I can find the time too. My tortured, creative mind has so many ideas I sometimes get bottled up getting them out! LOL! Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
