Sleepwalk Right Through It Dress
Today’s dress was a fab gift that made me quite happy when I saw it!
I never look a gift dress in the mouth!
Isn’t that print just awesome? And don’t you love the navy/mint green combo?
And check out the label:
This was an expensive dress, folks!
This dress probably sold for $300-$500 originally.
But even this dress’ previous owner wasn’t completely happy with it:
Sleeves slit by previous owner!
This dress is too big for me to fit as it is intended, but luckily, I had other plans!
Triple Chop! 🙂
After a few amputations, I cut a sash from the very bottom hem of the dress.
Snnnip!
And with this five-minute transformation, I was ready to meet up with a few fab friends for a movie and drinky drinks!
Happy Theater-Goer! 🙂
We met up at the new Nickelodeon Theatre to see the subtly moving and funny film, Sleepwalk With Me.
Mike Birbiglia has a dream! Several, in fact!
After the film, we headed off to The Whig. 🙂
Buds & Booze!
Slurrrrp!
Cheers!
Oh…and are you as fascinated/horrified by the art work behind me as I am???
I’m buggin’ out over it! Eep!
Cheers!

How cute! Amazing what you can do with so little stitching. Looks like you and a good time too.
Your refashion of this dress really shows off your great gams! <3 it!
rawr that is a fab print!!
Cute dress!! And the movie looks good too!
Very Creative. Your dress stitching style and new creative ideas for it are just awesome.
Hey! Just found your blog on Pinterest and you do awesome work! I also just saw this post with the Nickelodeon Theater and thought “Is she from Columbia?” And then you mentioned The Whig and I knew you were! I love your repurposing ideas. You make them look sooooooo much better than they initially did. Very creative and an inspiration to look at things differently. Thank you!
LOVE IT!
Very cute – is this a type of fabric that you don’t have to hem? Now that’s my kind of sewing!
Yep! It’s cotton jersey! Super soft too!
This is one of my favorites. It is a very flattering “after.” And sleepwalk with me was a fun movie.
Thanks! I hope the “This American Life” guys do more movies like this! 🙂
Any idea how to get costume thigh high boot toppers to stay up? My daughter is dressing like Cat Woman for Halloween. I have completely refashioned the purchased costume. Even the gloves needed to be taken in. The costume is a spandex jump suit. The boot covers are a stretchy synthetic with a sheen. I took them in along the seam, but they still slide down the thigh and bunch at her knees while walking. I can only think to hand tack them in place for the party. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! I LOVE YOUR BLOG! Bobi
