I began my day with this Extra Large JCrew dress that I found for $1.

I love that bright coral hue and the soft jersey fabric. This has the potential to be a great dress to help me transition into fall!
Of course there’s just too much of it for me, so I got to work. First, I pinned the sides 1 1/2 inches all the way down.

Then, I ran each side through my machine.

I cut off the excess fabric and then tackled that awful mid-calf length!

Now I have a great dress that’ll work for the end of summer, all the way through fall! 🙂

I wore my cute new dress to meet up with my fella and a couple of friends after work for some sushi and 1/2 price saki at Tsunami!


Cheers!
Amazing I really like following you
I love love love that Dress both before & After. That bright Color & the Soft Flowey fabric make it perfect
I have been plowing my way through every day of your blog. I am so inspired. This is my favorite dress so far. I can’t wait to hit Goodwill.
This is definitely one of my favorite of your “refashions”! It looks amazing after you finished with it, and I love what you wore it with.
Great color and once again, the outcome is terrific. Love your creativity. You inspire me to think in a different format.
nice work! where did u buy your dress?
Thanks! 🙂 I don’t know if you’re from Columbia, SC or not…but I do a lot of my thrifting at a chain of stores called His House where all the clothing is $1. 🙂
I am from PA. Thanks.
Gorgeous colour – looked even too enormous for me at the start!
