OMG I could! I could not stop laughing!! Holy Cow!
I decided to use a pattern. Use the top half of pants for a skirt and then use the bottom half for the bodice. First cut in half. Sew out that J front and back of the legs/bum area.
Bodice in the works... I screwed up on one part but you can't tell unless you look really closely at the finished garment. Half of the time I can't find it.
I used Vogue 8993, pretty easy pattern.
Now before I finished the dress, I had other things going on (story of my life) and I let it hang b/c something was off.
As you can see, the skirt sort of has a point to it but I kept it as is. I sort of liked the different feeling I got with the dress.
My only beef with this pattern is I felt as if the arm holes were a bit low.
Here is the recap.... big jeans to a dress. Yes... only a little bit of time left before the cold comes.
Cheers,
Lauren

wow how brilliant and resourceful - i've just started to look at old items in the wardrobe as new fabric ..hubby lost 3 shirts but not turned them into anything yet!!
Fantastic refashion . I am always impressed by your imagination
Heeyy, I like this pattern, Lauren. I really like the length of it very versatile.
I'll bet you get much use out of your denim version too.
Good job!
