slip dress

Hi Everyone!

.

I know it has been a few weeks, but once again it has been report card time! Finishing report cards is an exhausting, time consuming process. But…Fear not! Report cards are finished, and I have been squeezing in precious moments to sew and refashion. I just haven’t had a moment to put it all together for you until now. Take a look at my latest before and after…

A rayon slip dress with a great pattern! I just zipped off the top and made a foldover 3/4″ elastic waist.

I feel pretty and on trend. All of this for a $5.99 dress, about $0.50 worth of elastic and about 20 minutes of time!

.

One thing about using a slip dress to do this:

.

Make sure you are able to take it into the dressing room and check if it is big enough to fit you properly over the hips as a skirt. If I am going to a thrift shop with no dressing rooms, I will wear leggings and a tunic so I can slip things on without fear.

.

Well, that is all for right now. I do have more projects to do and homework to correct. So see you next time. I would love to hear your comments.

.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY and HAPPY REFASHIONING!
