Day 309: 3 Step Dress
Here’s a no-sew fix that will work really well with most button-up old lady dresses for this summer! 🙂
Step 1: Find an old lady dress in a print you really like that at least kind of fits you.
This one was made by “Avon Fashions”!
Step 2: Tuck in the collar, and button up your dress as much as you can, but with the neckline under your arms.
It’s this easy, folks! 🙂
Step 3: Tie those arms in front of you to cinch the waist!
Make it snug! This is what’s holding up your dress!
I triple-knotted mine, and tucked the ends of the sleeves in to give it a sort of rosette look.
That’s it!
I wore my new dress to the Columbia Museum of Art for their monthly Arts & Draughts event! 🙂
Culture Vultures! 🙂
A decent crowd!
This tree is just nifty! 🙂
My pals and I really enjoyed checking out this new exhibit:
Chairs: Keeping butts happy since…well…whenever! 😀
Sadly, I couldn’t take any pics of any of the chairs (big museum no no!), but you should really try to check this out!
I was happy to run into the awesome Ceramics Artist, Marilee Hall, who was in town visiting with her swell fella! 🙂
Me & Marilee! 🙂
Such a fine night!
Cheers!

That is such a great idea!
DANG I saw so many dresses that this would have been so cute with when I was on my thrift store adventure yesterday!! That is so cute!
I LOVE the paisley pattern!!! Refash success.
I discovered your blog yesterday and went through your whoooole archives! Love it! Then I went thrifting this morning, found a few pieces that I was super excited about re-doing, came home and *lost my nerve*. I think the things I bought were TOO beautiful for a first attempt at refashioning/altering. I’m scared I’ll just ruin them! (Like a mint condition black & red Chinese silk jacket. Only $10, and the only problem is that it’s too big through the middle. I’d hate to wreck it!!)
