Starting the year with a refashion, I thrifted this corduroy dress because I thought the print was unique and perfect for the winter. I am working on a tutorial on how to sew a waistband, it will be up soon. I thought the sweater would go perfect with the outfit, it's a bit scratchy because it's wool but I really liked the birds print. Here are the before and after pictures.

Wow! That skirt is fantastic! Great job in refashioning!! :) Your style is so awesome! ( just like you!)
I love that you pretty much just use the thrift store as your own little super discount fabric store - that print is darling!
Chic on the Cheap
Thanks ladies! Yes Lyddie sometimes it's cheaper to get the fabric at the thrift store, for instance that dress was about $2 bucks while at the fabric store it would have costed me $7+ to get the fabric for the skirt. Also I find some unique prints that are hard to find at the fabric store. =)
So cute, Shey! You are just so amazing at recreating thrift store rejects into something cute and fabulous. :)
Wow. That looks great. Looking forward to the tutorial!
I love it! I have a dress I hope to refasion into a skirt soon too)

I look forward to the waistband tutorial. I've noticed that you often add or change a waistband on your refashions and I haven't figured out how to do that myself yet, especially if there's a zipper involved.
I love your sweater! I have one very much like it with ducks on it. I love, love, love wool so scratchiness is not an issue for me. :o)
I need to learn to sew, I love how you see potential in these thrift store items and make them super chic!!
