Sometimes when I refashion something I keep changing it over time, either because I wasn't completely satisfied with it or because it need a little tweaking. This dress is on the second round of refashioning and I can't say I'm done with it just yet, but today it seemed like the perfect dress to wear to church. All I did was remove the sleeves and the ruffled collar because they just added unwanted bulk, sometimes simple is better.

I like it a lot better sleeveless and without the collar and it looks PERFECT with that necklace! You're such a gorgeous lady! :)
Laura Ashley and Shey do it again! I like it! I enjoy reading the names of all the red lipstick shades!
Wow! Love the last look of the refashion! I'm saving to get parts for my sewing machine. Hopefully I will be able to teach myself some refashion tips:-)
By the way thumbs up on the necklace!
Lo has dejado perfecto; aunque a mí me encantan las mangas puff mucho.
Eres una artista y me encanta haberte conocido, yeahhhhhhhhh

Great job, Shey! Love the simple new neckline and sleeves. It looks great with your new necklace!
I am definitely liking the evolution of this dress!

I adore what you made with that dress 100% better than before
I love what you made out of this a bit old-fashioned cut dress!!!
It's a very pretty piece now!

Oh, I love the third look...so summery! I have two dresses that I'm currently in the middle of refashioning in a similar way....just not confident enough in my sewing skills quite yet.
you have such great vision and amazing seamstress skills - i am a huge admirer of what you do, i recently attempted to take a dress in-not good!!! x
I recently found your blog & I too am a teacher that LOVES fashion.
