    Day 363: All the Angles Dress

    June 27, 2012 / 22 Comments

    When I found today’s dress at one of my fave $1 thrift stores,  I was stoked!  Check out the amazeballs print!  🙂 You’re looking at a totally 80’s shoulderpadded number that desperately needs a facelift!  Time for a Nip/Tuck! First, I made a big chop! Then, I took in the whole thing about 2″ on each side. After cutting off the excess material, I folded the top raw edge over twice and stitched it down, leaving about a 1″ gap. …

    Day 338: Spoleto Dress

    June 2, 2012 / 12 Comments

    Today’s dress was a freebie from a friend. 🙂 I needed something comfy, light, and fun to wear for the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, SC.  With just a few modifications, this dress would work just fine!  At first glance, you might not see anything wrong with this one…but let’s delve a bit deeper, shall we? I don’t like it.  It fits perfectly, but I don’t like the whole red & white color scheme (too stark!), the length is awful, and…

    Day 326: Grecian Bubble Dress

    May 21, 2012 / 7 Comments

    I love the dark green hue and subtle print of today’s dress… …and that’s it!  I didn’t like weird cross-over top of the dress at all.  It felt really stifling! I got to snipping! I carefully snipped the top part away from the bottom part, right along the serged edge, so it wouldn’t fray. For some dresses, this would be a totally no-sew refash, but I had to stitch down a couple of things before I moved forward. Next, I…

    Day 324: Play in the Park Dress

    May 19, 2012 / 2 Comments

    Check out this lovely 2-piecer! Talk about a BOGO!  🙂  I’m a huge fan of this fun tropical print and the lightweight fabric of this thing.  I’m not such a fan of the frumpy cut of the dress or the not-so-hot layering action! Time to get this dress ready for a warm & beautiful day! First, I cut the dress off near the top, right where it starts to get narrow. Then, I hemmed the resulting raw edge! Next, I…

    Day 323: In the Details Top

    May 18, 2012 / 6 Comments

    Today’s piece began as a frumpy black sun dress. It isn’t very exciting, is it?  It had a little problem as well! Oh dear!  The bottom crocheted detailing had begun to unravel and rip!  :/ I grabbed my scissors, and snipped it off altogether. Then, I made another cut to the dress. Next, I gave what was about to be my new top a new hem! Okay, so what was once a dress was now a shirt.  Big deal, right? …
