I think today’s dress was some sort of uniform. Do you have any idea what it might have been a uniform for?
I’m going to start off with a quick apology. See that weirdo grey floaty looking thing on the bottom right of my photo? Well…he’s in just about every photo. :( It looks like my new camera is going back to the store, which will put us at ReFashionista Camera #4. :/ Until then, let’s call the grey blob Steve. I hate Steve.
Steve hid for a bit (doing typical ghostie things I imagine) as I began the taking-in process for this dress.
I ran each side through my machine and decided to take off a bit of that length. Steve helped.
I hemmed that raw edge.
I pressed everything, and now I have a dress that makes me look like “the cutest den mother ever” (a friend’s words, not mine). :)
Cheers!
I love this dress – the two colours work really well together, you did a great job. Can´t think what sort of uniform it might have been….!
Adorable! Absolutely adorable.
Thank you! :)
I love how this dress turned out! And – your sash matches perfectly. But as for Steve – he HAS to go!
This is very cute! I love the blue. I was guessing cafeteria lady uniform but they are white aren’t they? idk.
i loved this refashion…and i know steve has to go, but he does make me giggle now that you’ve drawn attention to him
Great job on this refashioning project. Like the others I am clueless as to the type of uniform it could be. Looks more like a house dress–you know–errands and shopping type. The contrasting color is perfect. Nice job on the sash. Great color match. I tried my hand at refashioning. Check out my blog for the crocheted yoke t-shirt.
great transformation =) new form of the dress is adorable =)
Having fun seeing what you did with all these dresses. YOu make anything look good/cute.
I don’t think it was a uniform – just a secretary dress from the late 70’s. I knew a girl that had a hundred like this (blah color, a-line skirt, goofy buttons) in Washington DC in 1983. We called them “Carol Dresses”
It was totally a uniform, as it had a girl scouts label in it! It’s so odd. The proportions of the dress are for an adult, not a large girl (darts for woman-y boobs, slender waist, space for woman-y hips). Mystery surrounds it!
Poor Carol. :)
Great job on this one. I love the buttons that came with it and the sash you made. :)
I love it my favorite so fare now I am thinking of doing some of this things any recommendations on the type of machine I should get
