Day 244: Hunter-Gatherer Dress
When I’m on the hunt for a potential refashion, the first thing to draw me in is a unique and pretty print!
It takes some imagination…true
Now all I have to do is extract everything bad from this dress, so the awesomeness hidden within can come out and play! 🙂
I hate the sleeves (plus it’s too hot here for sleeves anyways!). I hate the length. I hate that stifling turtleneck. Time to get chopping!
First the Sleeves!
Then the length!
I folded the shoulders of the dress under once and stitched them down to make them narrower for my scrawny frame.
Just a single line along the seam!
The turtleneck issue was fixed by wearing the dress backwards, so the back zip is now in the front, giving me some breathing room! I used the bottom scrap from the dress as a sash, and was ready to go!
Time to head out!
I met up with Erin to check out the Greater Columbia Society for the Preservation of Soul at Hunter-Gatherer!
Preserving the Soul. Preserving the Funk! 🙂
While trying to do that awkward arm-outstretched photography thing, a rather handsome silver fox with a thick European accent (Hey…I’m single and I can say such things) said he would be delighted to take our picture for us. 🙂
Thanks Handsome Stranger Guy!
Hi!
Cheers!

So cute! I love how you made the sash, and I love the zip in front! Hey, I just realized that maybe you know of my friend Shigeharu Kobayashi? He is filled with awesomeness–he is the guy who made the Columbi-yeah! t-shirts. I came down to see him and some other friends from college a while back, and we danced the night away at the Art Bar! So I’m happy to see its glory living on 🙂
Hi! I know of him, but I don’t think I’ve ever met him. I LOVE the Columbi-YEAH shirts! I sent one to a friend of mine who’s teaching in China, and she pretty much flipped out over it.
And oh yes…Art Bar is alive and well! 🙂
I love this one. The print is fabulous and it goes great with your sandals. I wish it was hot here. We are always in turtlenecks and long sleeves.
Brilliant fix! Love the zipper collar! I also love silver foxes with sexy accents. You go, girl!
