A dear friend of mine sent me this dress but it was way too big when I got it. That isn't usually enough to stop me from throwing something out so I went to work at it. It was actually pretty simple and I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I got it done. The bottom was this weird short in the front longer in the back deal which I'm not usually fond of so I just cut that off. Because it's a knit I didn't have to worry about making a new edge which is another reason knits are awesome. The top was just way to big. Even tied it probably would have fallen off (not a lot going on in that area if you know what I mean).
So, I took out the seam between the top and the skirt. Originally the top two pieces met in the middle, so I brought them in and overlapped them - better shape and a little more coverage. The bottom half I just folded over and then sewed it all together again.
I really love this dress now. It's comfy and flowy and great for summer. Thanks Ashley : )
oh yeah, and I made a headband with the bit I cut off of the bottom. Because that's just what I do.
