Day 237: I Heart Fortuny!

Little old lady dresses are such a blast to refashion!  :)  Check out this one with its nifty Fortuny-style pleating.  Sadly, it doesn’t have much else going for it!

Un'fortuny'nately, it's not that attractive yet. :/

I was in a hurry, so this needed to be quick!  I turned the dress inside-out and stitched a seam over each sleeve.

Whirrrrr!

I chopped off the sleeves, then decided to get rid of most of the length.  Today was  just a jeans kinda day!   Hooray for Casual Friday!

Chop!

Now that frumpy old lady dress is a sweet & sassy new top!

Fortuny for the fortuneless!

Today was a wee bit chilly, so I tossed on a sweater before heading to Pita’s for a tasty Mediterranean lunch!

NOM!

Cheers!
