Hi everyone! 🙂 So…this is my first post and first refashion of 2012! I’m a couple of days behind on my posts (don’t worry, I’ve been refashioning, I just have to get the time to write about it). I promise to get all caught up in the next couple of days.
Today’s piece was a not-so-lovely Navy or Black dress (I still can’t tell!) with a funky red and white pattern on it.
I decided to make the back of the dress the front of the dress. First, I used my handy seam ripper to get rid of those buttons.
Then I pinned down a nice V neck, and stitched it up!
I chopped off the excess length, and now I have a cute new dress! 🙂
Cheers!
Looks black via the pics. I can’t believe you have been diligent with posts so far. Just want to say you rock as far as refashioning AND blogging. I have enjoyed a ton so far and keep up the great work !
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the encouragement!
Cute upcycle!
Black, definitely black!
Thanks! I can never tell. Plus, Fella is colorblind, so he’s no help at all! 🙂
Since coming across your blog about a month ago I have been madly reshaping items which I was about to give away. So now I have lots of ‘new’ things to wear! And I am inspired to try not buying new clothes for as long as possible but to try charity shop refashioning. So thank you for the idea and inspiration.
That is awesome! And thanks! 🙂
