Thrifting At It's BEST

There's days where you look at your closet and feel you have nothing to wear. Come on ladies I know you can relate. I've had this one dress for a year that I never wore and has been collecting dust in my closet. The story behind the dress holds a sentimental value in that when my sisters and I went thrifting in Trinidad, CO. I purchased this dress for the value of .75 cents. I was hoping to get the dress altered to fit a style however, I never got around to visiting the alteration place. This past weekend I was rummiging through my clothes and decided I would recreate the dress into something more form fitting. The bottom piece to the outfit was actually a dress. I've included a before and after picture.

BEFORE. I cut along the seam and left about a quarter of an inch. This will be important when making the dress appear it was made that way.

AFTER: Whats featured in this look: A.Joseph floral lace top * Nine West shoes * Vintage watch.

Quick Tip: If your looking to alter an article of clothing look to see what you have available. I started off by cutting the bottom piece of the dress and left about half of an inch towards the band.
