You’re the top, top!
Tonight, I just wasn’t in the mood for a dress. The chill (and my chill attitude) dictated jeans would be mandatory for the evening. I had no tops in my “before” pile, so I was going to have to transform this hideous thing:
Pepto Dismal
First off, I snipped off those shoulder pads!
later, losers!
Then, I hacked off that skirt!
“skirt”ing the issue (hehe)
As you can see from the “before” pic, this thing was huuuuuuuge on me! I was going to need to do some major taking in. I decided to do it from the back. I turned it inside out, gathered 4inches from each side (a total of 8 INCHES…yikes!), and pinned it down the middle.
I actually have the pins turning the wrong way…woops!
Next, I put it through my machine I just went ahead and left it threaded with the black thread from my last project, as A. I was in a hurry and B. No one would be seeing it anyways (as it’s on the inside).
Nip/Tuck
Once my new top was all sewn up the back, I trimmed off that excess fabric, threw it on, and rolled up those sleeves.
Pretty in Pink!
I was all set to enjoy a night of improv comedy with The Art Bar Players with some fun and fabulous people! 🙂
After the show…a moment of comraderie…
Lex’s sweater has a fire-breathing dragon on it! 🙂
NOM!
Cheers!

Great makeover and how cool that its the new color for 2011. They r calling it honeysuckle. I thought honeysuckle was yellow:)
It looks so fabulous! It would be super cute also dressed up, worn with a black mini skirt or black slacks. Another great refashion.
