Day 363: All the Angles Dress
When I found today’s dress at one of my fave $1 thrift stores, I was stoked! Check out the amazeballs print! 🙂
The shoulder pads are slightly less than amazeballs,
You’re looking at a totally 80′s shoulderpadded number that desperately needs a facelift! Time for a Nip/Tuck!
First, I made a big chop!
Nip!
Then, I took in the whole thing about 2″ on each side.
Pin, then Sew! 🙂
After cutting off the excess material, I folded the top raw edge over twice and stitched it down, leaving about a 1″ gap. This is where I’m going to insert some elastic.
Tuck!
After digging through my stash, I realized I was all out of elastic! Ugh! And I was soooo not in the mood to make a last-minute craft store run! :/
Then I remembered this leftover scrap from Day 315!
You shall be sacrificed!
I cut off the elastic waistband…
Why didn’t I think of this before????
I threaded the elastic through the dress’ new casing…
Thread it!
Then, I stitched the two ends together, as well as the 1″ gap I left to insert the elastic through.
Closing up shop!
Now that dress is ready for a fun night of Karaoke with friends! 🙂
From Sad to Sassy! 🙂
My shoes are pretty sweet, too! 😉
The PBR tall boy in her hair really ties the whole look together! 😉
Hey, LA! 🙂
I would love to say that my dress was the most stylish thing I saw tonight, but this simply wouldn’t be true.
This hat beats a cute dress any day! 🙂
It really completes my ensemble! 🙂
Squids are so hot right now!
The right accessories make a difference, y’all! 🙂
Cheers!

You are so amazing with your refashions, I noticed the 2nd year of your project is almost over! Are you going to keep posting? I really hope so! And you inspire me to refashion and redesign items too! I don’t have as many as you, but I’d love to hear your feed back on some of them 🙂 http://beingzhenya.wordpress.com/category/hand-made/
