Mai-Linh’s Reader ReFash!
Okay guys…I’ve been a major slacker about sharing Reader ReFashes as of late.
THAT STOPS NOW! 🙂
This week’s Reader ReFash comes from Mai-Linh, a devoted thrift store scavenger and upcycler!
I picked up the dress at a Goodwill. It had a sort of eccentric-hermit-bathrobe vibe, but the fabric was fabulous….After I chopped off the sleeves, the top needed some reshaping/taking in, and then I hemmed the skirt.
Look at that robe now!
Beautiful work, Mai-Linh!
Cheers!

Genius Mai-Linh. Very impressive re-fashion.
Rebecca
Thanks for showing a picture of the back! That’s something I wish ‘re-fashionista’ would do!

Great! One question for all you fashionistas though, why always with the sleeveless look? I know know you have the right to bare arms. Lol. So don’t give me that one…
I blame Michelle Obama. Just because she’s so buff. The rest of us have to cope with less perfect upper arms! Lol

Mai-Linh, I love the remake! Keep sharing your work!!

Wow! I looked at the “before” pictures and thought the best course of action was to wear it at midnight, with the lights off. Beautiful! Definitely daylight-worthy!

Oh that is beautiful! Good job!

I really like how you remade this outfit. It is nothing like it was and is truly a lovely redo. Good for you Mai-Linh.

Lovely! Mai Linh is an inspiration!
I just posted my own refash. Not nearly as imaginative. But it’s not terrible, don’t you think?

Drapey to delightful. Lovely job.
Ramona
love it but I like to see a before and after picture together so when I pin it on my boards it looks better and gets more repins
