Day 219: Life of the Party Dress

I don’t care if this piece was originally really expensive and on-trend.  It looks ridiculous!

Not only is this jumpsuit one of the dumbest-looking things I’ve seen, it also had a mangled zipper.

There’s an extremely expensive boutique here in Columbia that donates their damaged stuff to Revente’s Last Call.  Kudos to them for not just destroying the stuff.  🙂

Anywho…I needed this jumpsuit to be a sexy party dress STAT!  Time was of the essence!  I made a nice, big chop!

Then, I put my new dress on my dress form.  I fitted it on the side where the broken zipper was.  Technically, I should have just put in a new zipper, but alas!  I was already running late to a really fun party!  🙂

When doing this, I had to be careful.  If I made the dress too fitted, I wouldn’t be able to get in or out of it.  I had to get it just right.   Luckily, I’m pretty bendy and can wriggle my way into just about anything (thank you yoga!)!  🙂  I ran the pinned side through my machine, and cut off the excess material, completely removing the broken zipper.

I made a quickie sash from one of the discarded legs, and was ready to go!  🙂

I think this dress is a huge improvement over that silly jumpsuit!  🙂

Oh…and check out my daring footwear!

I really have to admit…I have some extremely fun friends!  🙂
