New Refashion Project

After about two months mostly focused on food preservation I thought I would show you a small project I recently completed. I found another Goodwill dress that was too big and too 80's, but I did like the fabric pattern. I cut off the sleeves, cut the neckline down and shortened it. I have a couple of caveats with this post. The before is ugly and I don't just mean the dress. I tried to do my hair curly and ended up looking frumpy and old. The second thing I wanted to mention is that I don't have a photo of the finished project by itself. I've been working on losing weight and did not feel the photos were flattering, so you'll have to just use your imagination. Lastly, I'm putting the after photo first as I hate having an ugly picture be the one people see when they are notified of a new post. That said, here ya go.

Thanks for stopping by,

80's Polka Dot Remix

Before I started my blog I began finding clothing with some potential at thrift stores and change a few details. Today I wore one of the first dresses that I remixed. Here's how the dress began..

So it was 80's with shoulder pads and an ugly lace collar, (sorry for the poor quality photo)

 I took out the shoulder pads, cut off the collar, took off the sleeves, made a waistband from excess fabric from the length and shortened it about a foot.

My silver necklaces are from the yard sale I posted about earlier, and the turquoise necklace is from a friend, and as you can see the sun is out and so are my freckles!

Till Later,
Tonya
