Basket Case
This dress was quite a frumpy frock when I bought it for $1.
Feeling a bit stifled
However, I loooooved the baskety/laticey print! I’d never seen anything quite like it.
a tisket…a tasket!
First off, a few things had to be removed.
Leftovers!
I was going sleeveless today. Temps were back to a balmy 60 degrees. Le Joy! I couldn’t just leave those arm holes with jagged edges, so I got to pinning.
Pinning down that arm hole!
I also wasn’t digging that neckline as-is, so I pinned it down to make a nice, throat-pleasing pleasing V.
Prepped and ready to go under the needle!
I ran all my raw edges through my machine.
Sewing that V
Once all my raw edges were sewn down, I still wasn’t thrilled about the length.
byeeee frumpy length!
I hemmed the new hem, pressed all my seams, and was ready to head out into the beautiful, sunny day!
Ello there!
Frolicking out of the brush like a wee pixie!…or not.
Oh yes…and the winner of the Coco Before Chanel DVD Giveaway was (drum roll please!) Sherry! Enjoy! I hope it inspires you as much as it has me! 🙂
