Wannabe Th-uh…Wednesday! Really!

Hi!  It’s Wannabe Wednesday…trust me.  It just is, okay?  🙂

I’ve been coveting this funky dress from Urban Outfitters:

Ain’t it rad?  The print is great, it looks uber-comfy, the knots are nifty, and I want one for spring!  🙂

Buuuuut…98 bucks could buy a LOT of wine (priorities!), so I’d rather make a quick copycat from a $1 thrift like this:

The print isn’t even close to the original, but the idea is the same.  They’re both sort of a funky “tribal” look, so it’s close enough for my purposes.

This refashion is a no-sew!  All I had to do was make one big cut.

I left the bottom edge raw, but I didn’t want it to go fray-crazy, so I applied this to the edge:

After the fray-check dried, I made a couple of knots…

And just like that, my copycat is complete! 🙂

Of course, it’s still a bit chilly out, so I had to winterize it a bit!

I wore my new dress out for a couple of drinks with friends…

Cheers!
