Satin Jones New York Refashion- Iron Craft Sleep

I found this lovely dress one day and the color is gorgeous. However once I put it on, it was sort of bleh. I mean it fit well. But...




It is sort of a weird length. And really what am I going to wear this to? Really? And there was some sort of sheerness to the bust. But I think this would make a great PH! And oh! This Iron Craft Challenge is sleep! Ding I got my project! :) Let's refashion this into a Nightie!

I decided to use this pattern from Vogue... V8888. 
I used the shorts pattern to make a pair of short shorts from the bottom part of the dress. 

It was a really easy pattern to sew. I did not sew the lace like the pattern calls for. After the shorts where done then I just hemmed the bottom of the top. And poof! I have a new cute PJ!


Much more appropriate for sleep! I am happy that I was able to participate in the iron craft!

xoxoxo,
Lauren

  1. Great use of the dress, it kind of had a nightgown feel to it so it was meant to be.
