Hounds-tooth Refashion

Howdy kids :]

What have I been up to lately? Well, besides doing homework during the summer, which is literally the worst thing ever, I managed to refashion another frumpy dress:


Nothing says fun like a fake velvet collar, right? No? Oops...


Well, I did some major choppin' an this is how it turned out!


First I took out those LOVELY shoulder pads.


Then took off those DOPE fake velvet lined sleeves [which, I might add, were AWESOME for attracting cat hair...]


After that I cut off the collar, as well as cut the front of the dress to form more of a v-neck. Then I hemmed it all off and voila!


Now I have a slightly less frumpy, but still a little bizarre, frock :]

Happy Tuesday!

    Your refashion is so sexy now! I never would have thought of cutting a v neck like that. It looks great. Pinned to my style board and sharing on my face book page! http://www.sewsweetvintage.com/2013/06/beachy-signs.html
