Day 253: Kicked Back Dress
When I was given this dress from Revente’s Last Call, I immediately noticed there was something missing!
Eeep!
Somehow the drawstring for the top of this maxi dress had lost its way! Yikes! :/
I really didn’t like the color of this dress, the black bottom, or the length (I’m kind of over maxi dresses). :/ Luckily, I knew just what this dress needed!
First, I made a couple of cuts!
Chop and Chop!
I took the top two pieces and put them in a dye bath with some leftover fuchsia dye!
Time for a color upgrade!
After the two pieces were dyed & dried, I worked that bottom scrap through the drawstring casing. This was made extremely easy, thanks to a new toy I picked up at the fabric store! This little guy makes pulling fabric through casings a breeze!
The best little doohicky ever! 🙂
Now that dress is fierce in fuchsia with a fun new length! 🙂
Fierce!
It was a tad chilly out, so I tossed on a simple cardi to keep my arms and shoulders nice and warm!
Ah! Toasty! 🙂
I wore my new dress to Mellow Mushroom for a tasty brewski and early dinner with Marty. 🙂
Mmmmm! Blue Moon! 🙂
Mmmmmm! Salad! 🙂
Cheers!

I love this! looks great!
First, I’m SO glad to hear that a young, hip woman like you is fed up with maxis! Give me a break, been there, done that. What is possibly flattering about that style? Second, tell me about the “doohicky” you used to pull through the drawstring???
I really liked the black pattern throughout the dress and the new color made it so much more interesting!
What is the name of that “doohickey?” As a Knitter, I sometimes use a big needle, but usually just a safety pin. That thing looks much easier.
