When I found this dress, I confess…I was pretty worried. I had no clue what the heck I was going to do to save it. :/
This is some SERIOUSLY scary old lady dress territory here!
As I had no idea where I was going with this one, I began by chopping off the things that annoyed me. 🙂
Then, I began playing with the dress…trying to wear it in different ways…and then I found a way that actually worked!
Here’s a close-up!
I wore my stylin’ new skirt to Karaoke Night, where I hung out with some nifty ladies. 🙂
Cheers!
You could use that lace to make a fun headband!
You inspired me to reuse the shoulder pads that I cut out of the wool jackets. I liked your cat toy idea. I stepped it up a bit and used bits and pieces of left over suits and sweaters to cover the outside.

So what did you do to the top of the skirt? I can’t quite tell from the pic. Is it pinned? elastic? What?
Based on past refashions I’m guessing all she cut off is all she showed, meaning only the lace and shoulder pads, and tired the arms around her waist to hold it in place as a skirt.
Much better and I love the colour!
