Perfect Little Black Sweater Dress Refashion

This is an epic day, my friends!  I’ve done it!  I have created the perfect refashion!  What follows is by far my personal favorite refashion to date!  🙂

It started off pretty ominously with this wool/acrylic blend turtleneck dress that wasn’t doing me any favors.  :/

I wasn’t even sure what I could do to save this one…so, I started cutting!

I closed up that raw edge at the top of the dress…

…then I threw this barren husk of a dress on my dress form inside-out and started taking it in!

I ran each side through my machine, and was left with an okay-looking tube dress.

But that just wasn’t good enough!

I cut off the sleeves from the original dress…

And pinned them to the top of my new dress.

This is about the time I started getting really excited!!!

I stitched my new sleeves down…

…and now I have a perfect little black dress!  🙂

Here’s how I wore it at work:

…and here’s how I wore it at play!  🙂

So, why am I so ecstatic about this really basic dress?

• It’s super-comfy!
• It’s extremely versatile!  I can dress it up or down and wear it to just about anything!
• It’s black!
• It’s a really simple & straightforward refash…even for you newbies out there!
• This type of refashion would be flattering on all sorts of body types!

I kept rocking my frock into the wee hours of the morning!

This was a special evening, in which I attended a midnight showing of the most brilliant movie ever in the entire universe, known as The Room!

So now I have created the perfect little black dress, and I’ve shown you how to do the same.  I think I can quit this blog now and die happy!  🙂

Kidding!

Cheers!
