    Day 321: Here Comes the Rain Dress

    May 16, 2012 / 5 Comments

    The thing I really like about the completely blah and shapeless polyester dresses I find for $1 at thrift stores… …is what wonderful blank slates they are!  You can really do just about anything with them!  🙂 I decided to go for a quick, but dramatic no-sew refashion for this one! First, I trimmed off that bottom hem to make my sash. Then, I folded the dress in half and made a big asymmetrical cut! Those sleeves needed a bit…

    Day 309: 3 Step Dress

    May 4, 2012 / 8 Comments

    Here’s a no-sew fix that will work really well with most button-up old lady dresses for this summer!  🙂 Step 1:  Find an old lady dress in a print you really like that at least kind of fits you. Step 2:  Tuck in the collar, and button up your dress as much as you can, but with the neckline under your arms. Step 3:  Tie those arms in front of you to cinch the waist! I triple-knotted mine, and tucked…

    Day 308: Flit & Flirt Dress

    May 3, 2012 / 7 Comments

    Today’s piece was curiously tagged “Small”. I beg to differ.  :/ I wanted something fun and flirty to wear for this month’s First Thursdays on Main art crawl.  Obviously, this was not it…yet!  😉 First, I pulled the neck hole down under my arms and pinned it in the front with my favorite brooch in the world.  🙂 This left the rest of the top looking like this: I tucked the sleeves in to make fake pockets (Fockets!).  🙂  I’ll…

    Day 292: Marigold Dress

    Wowza!  Today’s dress has a LOT going on, doesn’t it?  🙂 I actually really like the extremely busy pattern on this dress.  🙂  Unfortunately, It’s extremely old lady-ish and way too big! Not to fear!  🙂 First, I cut off that bottom patterned section, and put it aside. I took the dress in on the sides by about 2″. The back of the dress was still super-blousy though.  :/  As I’m not going for the one humped camel look this…

    Day 287: Hibiscus Dress

    Okay, you guys!  Pay attention, because what you’re about to see is my personal FAVORITE refashion to date!  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂  🙂 It all began with this $1 skirt. You’ve seen a lot of skirt to dress refashes on this blog, but not quite like this.  🙂  I put the skirt on my dress form like so: Then I sewed a line where I pinned out my future sleeve! Then I sewed another line next to the first one!…
