Day 341: Fab Foodie Dress
I’ve had today’s piece for quite a while. I really wasn’t quite sure what I’d be able to do with it! :/
See what I mean? You’d be intimidated too!
By the way, don’t let that fence behind me fool ya. My neighbors can totally see me when I do my before pics outside. They probably think I’m insane! 🙂
Anywho…back to this insane muumuu! I chose it for its cute foodie print. 🙂
Yum! 🙂
Sadly, this thing is just flippin’ huge on me! I decided to take it in from the back…a LOT! On my dress form it went!
Seeeee?
Then, I sewed a single seam down my pinned line.
Whirrrr!
This left me loads of extra fabric to snip off!
Wow!
Okay…so now my new dress is looking much better and size-appropriate! But, I still needed to hike up the length a good bit more.
Chop & Hem! 🙂
Check that wonky muumuu out now! 🙂
Such a fun little frock! 🙂
Now I just need to wear it to the grocery store! 🙂
This comfy cotton dress is just the thing for a hot SC day! 🙂
Fun with camera filters! 🙂
Cheers!

Adorable! I love seeing what you do with those gigantic mou mous!
From a huge dress to a “huge” improvement! I have sandals just like yours!
ok, so you inspire me! and i love your blog. please keep up what you’re doing! 🙂 I’m never short of amazed with what you do with things i think are “ugly” and make them so cute!!
I love it, I was almost hoping you’d make it into a tablecloth 😉 it just reminds me of a picnic. Fortunately you saved it from a terrible fate and made it great!
LOL I was thinking the same, it looks table-cloth-esque but so cute now! I think I might have chopped off the sleeves too.
I’m glad to know I’m not alone on that one. 🙂
you are amazing!
m ^..^
Love your refashioned fashions. You have inspired me to redo several items, including a purse, that I never would have considered attempting. Keep up the fun!
I’ve just started reading your blog and you have really inspired me!! I’ve been going through my wardrobe to see what I can change up. I have a cotton muumuu that is shaped very similarly to this before shot- I wore it as a Halloween costume as Mrs. Roper a couple of years ago. It’s been just hanging in my closet and now I know how to attack it to turn it into something cute!
Love this one!
