Summer Dress Restyle

Finally got around to unpacking my final bag of college stuff (I know it has been over three weeks…don’t judge me I’ve been busy doing nothing!). In doing this realised I have a ridiculous amount of clothes… so may say too may but can you really have too many I mean you gotta be prepared for every and any eventuality after all.
So amidst the mass of books clothes and knick knacks found this dress that I’ve had it aggges and literally only wore it a handful of times. The main reason being I don’t actually like it on me. Love the colour but the fit just doesn’t look well on me at all.


And what better way to spend your evening than remodelling a dress! Decided needed to get rid of the nasty elasticated band at the bottom. It was way too restrictive and just made the dress a weird shape. Took longer than expected because of the weird way the elastic was sown in.
Also decided the shoulders needed re shaping as the overall outline wasn’t that flattering, so unpicked the seam and split the sleeves in 2. Then crossed them over and re-stitched them. Wasn’t delighted at the way they turned out but better than it was.



Happy enough with the overall effect…will do nicely for Greece in 2 weeks J #excited !! Then thinking of lengthening it with some white lacy material so it more appropriate for work, will update if decided to do it ;)

That’s all peeps J
