Trying to find a dress last year in the height of the Covid was a nightmare. I was tasked with finding a colorful summer dress for a bridal shower. You would think I was searching for “The Holy Grail!” I guess no one had much of a need for dresses during the lockdowns. I ran out of time to find something more suitable so I had to settle for this floral wrap dress ordered online. It fit but was very difficult and uncomfortable to wear because the wrap feature kept trying to give me an Angelina Jolie moment by exposing my entire leg. This kept me busy readjusting for the entire time I wore it.

I was so tempted to throw it away but I am glad I did not. Another save in the books! How about you? Do you have anything you are holding onto that could be transformed? Let me know your experience or if you have any questions about this project. More to come soon!
Talk to me!
Happy Refashioning
Pretty darn cute. I so enjoy your emails.
Thanks so much Betty! I am hoping to post more often!
Great transformation! Well done!
Thanks RW! At least now I can use it comfortably!
Nice I love it 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks Jeri! It is so much more comfortable!
As always, a very practical refashion with some useful tips. It looks lovely on you and comfortable to wear, I imagine.
Good to see you pop up in my email inbox. Sending cool wishes from Downunder as we freeze away in Melbourne.

Karen! So good to hear from you. I am much happier with it now. I couldn’t bear to part with the beautiful floral fabric!
Oh, what a great refashion! Well worth the effort, that fabric is so pretty. It looks like you somehow changed the sleeves to a flutter style? Love it.
Hi Gayle!
Thank you!!!The sleeve was already flutter. You can’t really tell from the picture on the dress form. The main change is the one from wrap to empire waist.
