A couple posts ago, I shared a dress I found on the sales rack for a seriously killer deal (about $13!). Though there was one problem...I thought it was a dress, but it was actually a jumpsuit.
I decided to change it to a dress, and so I tried. Here are the steps I took.
1. I cut along the seams of the inner legs to open them up.
2. I laid the dress flat on the table to see how I could sew the left and right seams together in the middle to make this jumpsuit into a dress.
3. I cut off some excess parts then sewed the seams together in the front and back.
4. Because there are broken parts where the cotton lace was connected to the other cotton lace, I completely took off the thread which was attaching the two and directly sewed them together.
5. I sewed a liner and added that to the waist down.
6. It was ready for testing!
Today was a much warmer day than normal and I felt like spring was finally here! It was such a perfect day to try the new dress. :)
I am so happy that it is no longer a jumpsuit. It is the dress!
Very flowy and comfortable too...
The place we took pictures had nice features, but was a little bit challenging. Lots of narrow mismatched walls with graffiti in some areas. We had a hard time picking the background, but it was still fun... can you tell by my smiley face?
There is something I haven't told you all, and I have been crazy busy right now because of that. Hopefully, once that settles, I can start creating the things buzzing around in my head and share with you. I will check in when I can, Have a great weekend!
