I loved this dress when I bought it back a few years ago. I loved the white and the ruffles.
But I never seemed to wear it and always opted for another dress. I just never felt completely comfortable wearing it, I think I know why
It is short but that back slit goes right to my bum!!! I never felt comfortable wearing it, I could barely move in it.
Instead I decided to hem it and make it a shirt. It would get much more use out of it for work.
It had a back zipper and fit well. The zipper was long I basically opted to go about 2 inches from it and marked it with some pins. I hemmed it there. Before that I took out my seam ripped and undid the ruffle up to the point at which it was going to be cut. I saved that baby for later! :)
Here is the finished product
It would be great with a cardigan and jacket for work. Yay!
XOXOXOXO,
Lauren
well how smart is that!? I have a dress that is too short for me too and THAT is exactly what I'm going to head off and do - maybe right this second! Thanks for linking up to WWWW!
ReplyDeleteI like it so much more as a blouse! Good job.
ReplyDeleteThis is so flattering as a top instead of a dress.
