Tonight I asked my husband what he thinks about the dress and he said it looks kind of hippy-ish and he said the dress doesn't really look that good. Ouch!!! That's the reason I included the hippy-ish word in the title and muumuu dress because when I first bought it, it was just so huge and unattractive. Here's how I turned this rummage sale find dress into something like this. What do you think?
(Wearing it without a belt)
I like the design on this dress.
Pair it with a jacket for chilly days. By the way, that jacket is also a rummage sale find.
(Sort of the before photo)
This was not really the before look of the dress and sorry I didn't have a photo, but it was more like a humongous muumuu dress that was not attractive at all. I found this dress at a rummage sale and thought that I might be able to refashion it and turn it into something nice. The dress was so big that I shortened it, but I didn't want to cut out the bottom part of the dress because of the details and thought it was worth saving. So what I did was I cut off on the waist part of the dress to shorten it and sewed it back together, then I followed Grosgrain's tutorial on how to do the shirring effect and used it on this dress. It was so easy and you should try it. Let me know what you think? It's Sewtastic, Mama!
love it momi a!
