| This dress was a recent thrift store purchase of mine for $2.00. I thought this dress had potential and absolutely loved this print. My intentions were to raise the hem, alter the top, and pair it with a belt. Now, I just learned to sew, so I think sometimes my ideas overextend my ability. Well, I altered the top beautifully and then began on the hem. That did not turn out as well. I kept fixing it and cutting more off, fixing it and cutting more off (you have the idea). Well, after all alterations were complete, this dress has been turned into a fabulous shirt. The irony is, I love the outcome even though it wasn't what I had envisioned. |

***On Friday, I will be posting my DIY. It is still in the works. Also, next, Monday I will be starting my give away contest to celebrate 3 months of blogging.
Wow! That's a gorgeous top. You are so smart to learn how to sew to modify your thrifty finds. I have a seamstress - can't sew worth a lick - I have to factor in seamstress fees to my purchases, sometimes taking the "thrift" out of thrifting.
ReplyDeleteThat blue is such a great color on you and I dig those tights.
You did a fabulous job Carrie! Love it:)
