This is my last refashion post of 2011, I'm on my way to a New Year's celebration party. This is what I'm wearing for the party, the top was actually a floor length dress I thrifted. It was so unflattering as a dress I almost didn't post the before picture because it shows my very rectangular body, but as a top it worked perfect! Without further ado here is my refashion, all I did was cut the length off and hem it, I also had to redo the waistline on my skirt since it fit too loose. I hope everyone has a a wonderful new year!!

Obviously I like your web-site, however you have to test the spelling on quite a few of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling issues and I find it very silly to tell you. However I’ll certainly come again again!
Me encanta como has reconvertido el vestido en top, te queda genial con esa falda!!!
Feliz año!!!

Anonymous thank you for your comment, I will definitely check on the spelling, I do but I guess blogger is not the best spelling advisor and I just trusted it, English in not my first language so thank you for baring with my spelling errors. =)
I'm lovin' all your ideas! I'm just getting my blog started. I'd love to put up a link to your blog. Would that be OK? And would you be interested in being my first featured refashioner?
I guess I should've told you my URL www.chicenvelopements.wordpress.com
The top is gorgeous! How funny, I have a similar dress I haven't altered! Love the way you made it updated.

The black & gold is great for playful evening, and I love your hair.

Speechless!!!I've been always wanted to do what you did. He tenido en mis manos muchas piezas que se que tienen un futuro si tan solo les cortara aqui, les quitara esto, les pusiera aquello. Pero, mi desventaja major es no saber cocer.,.,. urgg... Pero, ahora si estoy decidia a comenzar a darle vida a esta vision.
