Put Your Red Dress On...

Happy Friday Morning!  Yay!  We made it through the week.

I have a super easy refashion to share with you.

I found this red dress at Goodwill for $3.50.  It was too big, but I loved the neckline and knew it had potential.


The first thing I did was remove the side zipper.


Next, I put the dress inside out on my dress form for a fitting.


Once the dress was fitted, I traced the pin line with tailor's chalk and removed the pins.


Because the dress is stretchy and fits easily, I decided not to reinstall the zipper. I stitched over where it would have been.




Lastly, I trimmed up the sides with my pinking shears.


I can't believe how easy this refashion was.  Now I have a lovely red sleeveless dress for the Holidays in Hawaii.


Another frum to fab refashion.
