Day 321: Here Comes the Rain Dress

The thing I really like about the completely blah and shapeless polyester dresses I find for $1 at thrift stores…

…is what wonderful blank slates they are!  You can really do just about anything with them!  🙂

I decided to go for a quick, but dramatic no-sew refashion for this one!

First, I trimmed off that bottom hem to make my sash.

Then, I folded the dress in half and made a big asymmetrical cut!

Those sleeves needed a bit of a shortening, too!

And that’s it!  Now that dress is totally transformed!

I wore my dress to Finlay Park for a production of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged).  I was especially excited, as I was asked to review the show for Jasper Magazine and Onstage Columbia!  🙂

There I was…poised with pen in hand, ready to take notes!

Erin and I were really optimistic…

…and then it started to rain.  Hard.  :/

So…the show was called off.  Such a bummer!  Luckily, I’ll be able to catch it/review it on what will hopefully be a bright & sunny Saturday!  Fingers crossed! I’ll be sure to post the link to my review when it’s released. 🙂

Cheers!
