Day 230: No-Sew Cocktail Dress!
Today’s dress was delightful in that it was made of silk, and had an awesomely tacky print. 🙂 It was less than delightful in that it was of a hideous shape with one shoulder pad. :/
One Pad Wonder!
What follows is perhaps the best no-sew refashion I’ve ever lucked out on! 🙂
I ripped out that solo shoulder pad…
Later Tater!
Then, I wrapped the arms of the dress around my waist and pinned the bust to keep my new dress from slipping off. 🙂
Pinned & Secure!
Now I have an awesome cocktail dress…perfect for a fun Friday night!
This took all of 2 minutes, folks!
Loving my awesome Cindy Saad necklace! 🙂
While out, I ran into a couple of fun friends!
‘Ello Cat! 🙂
It’s the always amazing Clark Ellefson! 🙂
I finished the evening with a tasty KC Hotdogs veggie dog! 😀
NOM!
Cheers!

It turned out stunning! Amazed once again!
gorgeous print! can you do a mini-tutorial on how you actually wrap the arms around? are you wearing the dress unzipped so it fits around your chest? what did you pin in the front? i know youve done this a few times before but being dense… i have absolutely no idea how youre managing it.
Next time I’ll make sure I get more pics of how I do this. Each dress that I do this with is different. This dress is actually fully zipped up. It works because the front does that cross over thing, so I can adjust it quite a bit. I’ve tied the sleeves off to the side, so they look like a sash. 🙂 The best advice I can give is to just play with the dress until you like it. 🙂
