Day 220: Jet Setter Dress

The print on today’s dress made a travel lover like myself (just ignore the fact that I never seem to go anywhere new, okay?) all sorts of happy!  🙂

Travelocity would approve!

The big prob with this dress is how unflattering the fit is.  The length is a bit awkward as well.

I turned my new dress inside-out and got to pinning!

Pin each side!

I ran each side through my machine.

Whirrr!

I cut off the excess material, and then got to work on that length.  I cut off a couple of inches, and then hemmed it.  🙂

Pin & Sew!

Now that ill-fitting frock is perfectly fitted and fun!

Fits like a glove!

I threw on a sweater to keep from getting to chilly.   🙂

Better with a sweater!

I wore my fun new dress to Hunter-Gatherer for happy hour with some colleagues to celebrate the Statewide Arts Conference one day in advance!  🙂

Yay Happy Hour!

Cheers!

Perfectly cute!!!! I love it!!!! 🙂

Beautiful dress!!!

The print is so cute. And it looks so much better after you fixed it.

Very chic – it´s amazing what a difference a few small adjustments can make!

Just a few adjustments and this dress turns out fantastic. I am wondering, how long does it take to do a refashion like that?

That dress looks great once you worked your magic!

How do you tailor the garments to fit you so well? Do you use a dress form? Do you ever gain or lose weight?
