Kaylinn’s Reader ReFash!
When I saw this pic of Kaylinn, I must confess I had my doubts that there was much to be done with her chosen starter piece. :/ She’s a braver woman than I. I HATE velour and velvet. Yes, they look nice (although this shirt is looking a bit scary as-is), but I HATE the texture of them. I CAN’T STAND to touch them (or cotton balls for that matter). Does this make me weird? Anywho, thankfully Kaylinn…
A Winesome Winsome Saturday Dress
Brrrrrrrr! I cannot cope with this cold snap, folks! For those of you who get sick to death of seeing me traipsing around in nothing but strappy (or strapless) sundresses as summer and want to see a bit more modest stuff, you are in luck! Take this heavily bedazzled sweater dress: There are only two things I like about this tacky monstrosity. 1. It’s black. 2. It’s a sweater dress. Even the back of this crazy number…
Sloane’s Weddingtastic Reader ReFash!
This week’s Reader ReFash comes from Sloane of Life and Food and Beer in South Florida! Perhaps it’s because I just got back from a lovely wedding (In Paradise…sigh), but you’re about to see the first Wedding Dress refashion I’ve ever posted here! Oh…wait.

Mai-Linh’s Reader ReFash!
Okay guys…I’ve been a major slacker about sharing Reader ReFashes as of late. THAT STOPS NOW! 🙂 This week’s Reader ReFash comes from Mai-Linh, a devoted thrift store scavenger and upcycler! I picked up the dress at a Goodwill. It had a sort of eccentric-hermit-bathrobe vibe, but the fabric was fabulous….After I chopped off the sleeves, the top needed some reshaping/taking in, and then I hemmed the skirt. Look at that robe now! Beautiful work, Mai-Linh!…
Peepshow Top
I’ve had this black dress on my refashion rack for a couple of months. I just couldn’t figure out what I wanted to do with it. SPOILER ALERT: My original plan doesn’t work out! I finally decided to turn this dress into an entirely different dress! I snipped off the seam to one of the shoulders. Then, I grabbed a spool of grosgrain ribbon… …and pinned it to both sides of the recently cut…
A Not Quite Red Ruffled Dress Refashion
I’m not a big fan of ruffles. I’m also not a fan of wearing anything white. For a person as clumsy as myself, it’s just tempting fate.
