No-Sew Coffee Date Dress-to-Top Refashion

A Big & Small Thrift Score Thursday

Sometimes, all you need to make a refashion work is one simple step.

Yes, we could all expend a ton of effort for every. single. refashion. But it doesn’t always have to be that way. Sometimes the simpler solutions are the best ones.

This is one of those refashions. 🙂

I began my morning with this dowdy dress with a fun print.

I don’t know if one cup is going to be enough for me today…

Here’s a closer look!

Fun!

This dress if very ho-hum. But I love that print, and the poly/cotton blend is quite comfy.

How to make this one a little less overwhelming….Hmmmmmnnnn…

I gleefully chopped away at the full skirt. I wanted the bottom hem to be uneven, so I did no measuring whatsoever as I chopped.

Easy!

I turned the dress around so the button-up back was the new front, and folded the sides down to make a V-neck.

I think it’s quite boho chic!

I like it a lot with the wide-legged jeans & my vintage hat!
