Ah! Whatever was I to wear for just another typical weeknight of music with friends?
Why this, of course:

It’s hot here, folks! There’s no way I can wear this sweater dress as-is…even if I wanted to!
Let the choppage begin!

I look forward to working with that top part this fall, but for now, I’m going to concentrate on the bottom!
I put that bottom part on my dress form, like ya do, and measured how much I would need to take this dress in on one side.


Once my new dress was all taken in, I still needed to deal with that raw edge on the top! And deal with it I did!


I left a small section unsewn so I could work some elastic through my new casing. To do this, I used a safety pin! All you have to do is thread it through!

After a bit of accessorizing, I was all set!

My new dress really enjoyed some tasty noms by Joe Turkaly!

The music was pretty amazeballs too!




Cheers!
