Sleeved to Sleeveless: Easy No-Sew Dress Refashion

Wannabe Wednesday: Fractured Floral Edition

I am on a cider kick, my friends!  🙂  Most of my beer snob pals turn up their noses at me as I blissfully sip what they call “apple juice”, but I just don’t care!  

Hard Cider is so incredibly tasty, refreshing, and my new favorite summer beverage!

When a friend texted me, telling me Windy Hill (a nearby cidery) was being featured at World of Beer, I wanted to dash out the door right away!

Unfortunately, I didn’t have anything to wear!  :/  I needed a super-fast refash, STAT!

I chose this summery polyester dress for the evening:

Check out the neck ties on this one!

I grabbed a small pair of scissors and got to snipping!

Can’t forget these!

I took the snipped-off neck tie thingies and used them to cinch the top of each shoulder, like so:

Hmmm…Okay.

And that’s it!  A quick No-Sew dress is born!

Most of the ciders were, of course, amazing!
