I bought this Jessica Howard dress at the thrift store during Spring Break, I liked the polka dotted print although I have too many polka dots already, I also liked the princess cut which is flattering for my boyish figure because it creates a waistline. I cut off some length, cut a new neckline and sewed a vintage collar to it. What do you think?

I'm wearing my refashioned dress with my thrifted 70's sandals, although I'm not a fan of the 70's I must say these sandals did steal my heart.
I was doing laundry, sorry for the messy floor!

Oh my word. That is all sorts of perfect! I LOVE it! : )
Nice job! The added collar makes the white trim at the waist work.
