Two Become One

This is a thrifted Old Navy dress that I loved but didn't fit. The bust was not quite....busty enough for me. I love the fabric though, beautiful pattern, and it's 100% silk! Old Navy is full of surprises. I used the fabric of another dress to make a new bodice and I don't have a picture of it because I started this project about a year ago and didn't think to take pictures then. I cut off the bodice of this dress and attached the new one, plus a black satin ribbon around the waist and made a whole new dress!

Chop Me Up

Quickest way to a face lift for a skirt? Chop off the bottom!

(Not too short of course.)

I cut off the bottom part of this peasant skirt and like it much better now.

I did this makeover in the spring time thinking I'd wear it in the summer. I never did, but hey, I guess it isn't too late here in El Paso. It still feels like summer!
