Mary looks like an overgrown toddler in this strangely-collard frock!
It took a good bit of convincing to coerce this Clemson fan into donning Gamecock Garnet, but she proved herself to be a true friend! 😉
To make this refashion happen, I ripped off that collar and restitched the original neckline back into place. Then, I lopped off a bit from the bottom as well as the sleeves. The bottom scrap became a sash, and the dress got a nifty vintage brooch!
Now that dress is all grown up!
After the show, Mary and Heather ended up switching frocks to align with their alma maters, which was totally fine. 🙂
Mary rocked this frock on the runway! How lucky am I to have such amazing friends in my life who are willing to put aside the time to help me with a big, scary fashion show? 🙂
Quite lucky.
Cheers! 🙂
Please stop removing collars and laces from these vintage clothes. I fell like… hurt !
I like some of your refashioning works but I had to tell you this…
Hmmm … yes, that really is a strange collar, isn’t it? I can’t remember ever seeing something like that before!
Good makeover – sometimes it’s only the smaller changes that are needed to update a piece of clothing.
Absolutely love this do-over! Way too cute!
Very cute refash!

Wow! You turned that beast of a dress into a beauty! Nice job!
Wow! Amazing job.
Awesome! Much more age-appropriate! 😉
Good luck on your fashion show! Can’t wait to see it! 🙂
