Day 256: Ashes of Roses Dress
Today’s dress is one of those truly hideous numbers that should have never been thought of. Seriously.
I kind of want to slap the person who designed this terrible thing.
Ugh. I had been putting off refashioning this hideous dress for a really long time, but my refash stash was low. I wasn’t certain that I could do anything to save it!
When in doubt, I just start removing the things that annoy me. 🙂
Any step forward is in the right direction!
I pinned my new armholes, and put them under the needle!
Going sleeveless for a warm SC day! 🙂
Okay…things are looking better! But I think I can do a bit more chopping! 🙂
Chop and Chop!
I tied the bias binding from the bottom of the dress around my waist as a mini-sash, and hopped out the door to rehearsal! 🙂
Time to go outfit some zombies! 🙂
After rehearsal, I spent a little time with some fun people at Karaoke Night! 🙂
Hi Herbie! 🙂
Happy Birthday, LA! 🙂
Cheers!

So cute! I love seeing your creations…so inspiring! I can’t wait to see what is next!!!!
I actually let out a gasp of horror when I saw the ‘before’ photo. Well done on saving that poor dresses life!!!
That is a truly incredible transformation – amazing!
Dont know how you saved that one but great job as usual!
wow wow wow! I think even the previous *cough* designer would agree you truly rescued that fabric from landfill! Well done !!
I love what you’ve done with it, its a gorgeous yet cute dress, well done!
It’s beautiful fabric, I’m glad you were able to rescue it!! Very cute refashion. I love it!
Awesome again. Do you actually hem or just cut and go?
I think that I would still want to remove that weird fabric thing from around the waist but removing the sleeves helped A LOT!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha…. ho ho ho ho ho ho…. oh I have tears in my eyes from the ‘before’ picture. Crime against fashion! But as usual, you have birthed a beautiful phoenix from the flames of hideousness!
