Day 48: Yikes! Stripes!

I don’t know exactly how to preface this oddball, so…um…er…

Check this out!  🙂

Yikes!

Is anybody else thinking of this blast from the past?

Yikes! Stripes!

I don’t even remember actually liking the taste of this stuff.  I just thought the stripes were really cool.  🙂

However, as far as this dress goes, I need a little less stripeage.  🙂

Chop!

I’m going to forget about the top part for now, and work with that stripey skirt.  I decided to turn the bottom of the skirt into the top of a new dress!  🙂

It didn’t quite fit me, so I added elastic, using the existing hem as a casing.

Elastic! It’s Fantastic!

I threaded it through using my oh-so-handy safety pin, and then sewed the elastic together.

Next, I hemmed the raw edge at the bottom.  🙂

Stitchy Stitchy!

I think I’ve removed the Yikes Factor, don’t you? 🙂

No Yikes…Just Stripes!

I took a break from work to stroll over to KC Hotdogs for a tasty Veggie Carolina Dog! 🙂

Le Nom!

Cheers!

Love it! Very French! 🙂

Adorable! And Fruit Stripe gum was so nasty but I wanted to love it because of the stripes!

I used to get that weird flavorless gum all the time. And you’re right…it wasn’t very good.

That’s a new kind of YIKES babe!! Hot!

Thank ya! 🙂

hahah awesome.. tkz for sharing

Sorry, am still laughing at that first photo – but my, what a chic little “Mam´zelle” you look by the end of the refashion. Ooh, la, la!

Seriously…what is UP with that dress? It’s huge at the top and super-narrow at the bottom. I’ve never seen anything quite like it!

Very cute. This transformation really came out fantastic! Love it.

Thanks! I’m a sucker for teal, so I’m fond of it. 🙂

This is one of my favorites! Good job.

Ah! So nice! I agree with “charityshopchic”, very french!

Sooo super cute! Love it!

Love that “new” dress! Fruit stripes gum, it was sweet. I think that was the only thing it had going.

Hi, I found you over at Refashion Co-op and had to come over to say what a great job you’ve done. That first photo really made me laugh!
