Today’s dress comes all the way from Saudi Arabia!
Anita bought it from a second-hand bazaar with the intention of refashioning it for herself and then decided that those ruffles just weren’t for her.
I was actually pretty stoked about this one, folks! I love the ruffles and that bright red hue! 🙂
This ruffled dress still needed a bit of work though.
First, I trimmed off those sleeves.
Then, I pinned each side on my dress form to get it more fitted.
I ran each side through my machine.
For my grand finale, I used one of the leftover scraps from the sides as a sash to break up the lines of the ruffles a bit.
And I must say…I love it! 🙂
Cheers! And Much Thanks to Anita for sending me this fabu frock! 🙂
