Day 346: Living a Lie Top
I don’t know what it was about the late 80′s/early 90′s that made clothing manufacturers believe that people couldn’t be trusted to handle their own layering.
I really don’t understand the whole “double dress” look, folks. Why did anyone think this was okay???? Especially when the bottom layer is always fake???
Fortunately, there’s a fairly straightforward solution to this!
This dress required a bit more snippage to deal with some ooglay pads as well!
I took the outer dress layer, buttoned the bottom button, and put my arms in with the buttoned part behind me. 🙂 Now I have a nice piece to do my own layering with! 🙂
I even managed to save a scrap from the cut-off part to make a headscarf! 🙂
I wore my new top to Cellar on Greene for a bit of Wining/Whining with my pal, Erin! 🙂
Cheers!

Hi. Firstly let me say I love your blog. You’re giving me confidence (although I’m not quite there yet) to refashion/fashion clothes for myself, something I have always wanted to do. Secondly, I’m curious to know what you do with all the clothes you make over. Do you wear any item a second, third or more times?
Thanks! 🙂 Check out my “About” section. I donate everything to Revente’s Last Call, where all of their profits benefit our local Women’s Shelter. 🙂
