Okay when you looked at this picture I know you laughed because I did too. I was just back from the gym and still had the tennis shoes on, I wasn't intending to look like the Texas church group that was all over the news a few years ago on purpose. But Anyways I bought this dress at the thrift store because it is the cotton I like and I loved the flower pattern,I hesitated buying it because I am tired of piling up stuff that I don't fix up, but this dress had something special. I didn't see this...
I saw this!
All I did was cut off the sleeves and use some lace for the trim around the sleeves and new neckline and chop off a couple of inches from the hem.
I was thinking about making the sleeves short but it didn't look well, so I just made it sleeveless so that I can wear it comfortably under alight cardigan.

I love this refashion! I'm impressed with what you did with the dress. It ooks so good!
Great refashion! You are amazingly talented at seeing potential and following through. Love it.
WOW! I am amazed at how you can fix up your outifts! This one is so cute!
You did such an amazing job updating that dress!
And it's true, it's very easy to accumulate a huge pile of things you have to fix up and then ignore it.
But I'm happy to see this one, it was worth it!
Chic on the Cheap
Oh, to be so crafty! That is a wonderful refashioning job. The dress looks amazing!

hehe thank you ladies! I think I did a pretty good job on this one. =D
Cute! Love how you refashioned it!
I saw your post on Wardrobe Refashion. Love your dress refashion! It is so pretty!
You are so talented! I love the dress after you refashioned it! Is that difficult to do? I totally want to learn!:)
oh what you did is a million times better! Well done, I would never have thought that!
I would have never imagined a dress could look so different! I love it! :) I am so inspired. It's beautiful. :)
Oh my goodness I love it! This makes me wish I could sew...haha ;D
take the shoes and find some gravel and then rub the soles in the gravel. Or you can put strips of masking tape on the bottom until the "slipperyness" is over.
Love the sundress
Just found you via Wardrobe Refashion. Your dress looks great! I'm following (:

Wow this is amazing, I love it! You must be really creative, if I saw a dress like that in the store I'd never imagine it like the way you refashioned it... I wish I could sew :P And the belt really complements the dress!

This is so cute! Amazing what you can do to make a ugly dress beautiful. I've just jumped on this refashion wagon and I'm having a ball! I'm also a happy Kindergarten teacher who loves to thrift. Hope to get to know you better and see more of your refashions.
That is so cute! I just happened across your blog because I was searching around for blogs about modesty. I really appreciate finding people like you who make an effort to be modest, yet pretty and fun!
Looks so good! I love the lace detail you added!
