Another Outfit Rescue

Another outfit rescue…. I found a cute little knit dress, a blue mosaic flower print at GW of course. I loved it but as a dress it was way too short to be a little respectable. It had ¾ length sleeves with a solid black and checked border which matched the dress hem. As I was working on the dress I found the dreaded reason for the cast off to Goodwill, an unseen 1/4” cut on the dress side. That was an easy fix which blended in seamlessly to the busy patterned print. I shortened the dress into a tunic style top by cutting off the fancy border and reapplying it 6 inches higher. I shortened the sleeves and used the original border to make several head bands. A great success I will wear this weekend for dinner out.
