My SAHM Style: Hi-Lo Vintage Dress


Vintage Dress and refashioned a bit: 25cents
Shoes: frockcandy.com $30ish

I thrifted this vintage dress last March and I love it. The fact that I got it for 25cents made it even sweeter. The dress is light and flowy, perfect for spring and summer. Although I could have used a belt to cinched my waist a little bit, but I left it that way. I just wanted to feel comfortable and feel pretty with my new vintage dress. I said refashioned because I cut the front short and left the back long, just like the new hot trend these days like a Hi-Lo dress or something. I love the collar of this dress and the flower prints as well as you can see it on the photo below. That's why I love thrift shopping so much. I can find lovely dresses in great condition without having to spend a fortune. Now go thrift shopping now!




Have a great weekend everyone!!!

  4. I can't believe you got this dress for only a quarter! That blows my mind! I wish thrift stores marked stuff down that low over here! I feel like I scored a great deal when I spend less than three dollars ;P I absolutely love what you did with the dress and thanks for linking up girl means a lot!

    1. I know! I can't believe it either. When I first saw it on the rack, I was like so excited I had to grab it right away without even checking for wholes or something. I got lucky! Anyway, this is really not a thrift store, but it's a church building where they get a lot of donations from people and like five times a year or so they would have a rummage sale and it would be around 25cents, 50cents, or a dollar for clothes and some other things. :) Thank you so much!

  18. Wow, 25 cents!!! You cannot even buy a Popsicle for that amount nowadays and you did a great job transforming it into a high low skirt. You have inspired me to do the same, I am terrified of ruining my skirt because I make so many mistakes in sewing.

    1. You are not alone! I screwed up quite a few things and you think I would learn from it. I ruined a really nice vintage yellow buttoned down maxi skirt and what was I thinking? I was terrified cutting this vintage dress, but it turned out well. Thank you!

  23. What a beautiful dress! The colour is absolutely gorgeous, and I love the way it falls without being belted at the waist. And 25c!? Who could argue with that price!
