This $1 thrifted dress made me look like a diner waitress.

While there is certainly nothing wrong with being a diner waitress (I’m pretty sure they’re all higher earners than me), this dress really doesn’t work outside of that specific setting. I liked that blue pinstripe pattern, but that collar and those sleeves? No thank you!
I immediately got started removing everything diner-y from this dress that was just dying to be off work!


For my next trick, I snipped off those elastic wristbands.

I tied the elasticy bits around the shoulders of my new dress to bring them in a bit. Now that dress is ready for a wonderful Yappy Hour with Douglas and Friends! You can read my article on Dog-Friendly places in Columbia in my column in MidlandsBiz! 🙂

Douglas had a great time meeting new friends! 🙂



I used a scrap from this refashion to help Ladybird (everyone’s favorite Purseranian) accessorize!


Cheers!
