Day 77: Jungle Love Dress
Welcome to the Jungle, friends! 🙂 I don’t have fun and games, but I do have this sweet $1 thrift store find! 😉
Oh We Oh We Oh!
I love that crazy jungle print! Unfortunately, that’s about all this dress has going for it right now. :/
Let’s get to it!
First, I cut out those icktastic pads!
Icky!
Then, I did a good bit of choppage!
Choppage in Progress!
Of course, I’m not going to leave those raw edges, so I got to pinning.
Pinned and Prepped!
Then I got to sewing!
Whirrrr!
Now I have a dress Morris Day would approve of that I can still wear in public! 🙂
“I approve.”

Don’t you wanna know me? (know me) 🙂
I wore my cute new dress out for an evening of Trivia and Karaoke! 🙂
Scheming for a win!
Sadly, we only got 2nd Place in Trivia…again. One of these days…:)
He’s really not scary at all! 🙂
Roller Derby Love!
On a complete side note: Check out Nick and his awesome puppet! My friend Sam makes these amazing puppets as gifts for his friends’ bdays and such. 🙂 He makes the clothes out of thrifted/damaged clothing. How cool is that? 🙂
Puppet!
Cheers!

Gorgeous refashion! I love it!!! By the way, you have such a busy social life! I don’t know how you have time to work, go out and sew all in one day!!!!!!! I really love this dress!
You amaze me with how you can turn anything into something wearable. I never would have seen the potential in that dress. Love, love, love your blog. Thanks for the daily inspiration!
Well, you look like a pretty, very petite person. It is a lot easier to refashion things when you are small because most everything is bigger and has extra material that gives you more options to do something different with it. It is a lot harder to find things to make over when you are a “full figure” woman. Not many things have that extra fabric to give you options and lets face it, cutting things off – hems and sleeves – just gets boaring for a full figured woman. We can’t wear these little short, strapless, sleeveless numbers with elastic holding them up that you are so talented in designing. How about, now and then, you grab a friend that is larger and do something for a “full figure” woman just to mix things up and show off your talents.
That’s a really good idea, Suzan! 🙂 Maybe a monthly guest star? That sounds really fun, and you’re right…It would be a good challenge to make things for other people. 🙂
Another wonderful creation. I love this one. Enjoy your talent and creative ideas. Keep them flowing. Have fun, enjoy life and friends, and do the things that make you happy.
This is great! So simple and it looks so much better.
Lovely – and I love how the new sleeves look. Looking forward to Big Girl Refashion day!
