The Thrift shop find for $11.25. It was my job to make this dress into something different. This was the first time that I attempted to do a make-over. I had ideals that did not work out as planned but I held it together and I came out with a spectacular outfit. It took me about two days time to complete this look and I like it. I did have a run-in with my iron, it was on to high and I scorched the front of the skirt but it’s still wearable. Since this a Mono outfit I decided to add this second entry. My full post is HERE

Go for it Sista! Thanks for the compliments, the top stitching was the task where I learned to be patient! After using that seam ripper a few times I learned.

Thanks! The top-stitching was the hardest, I never done it this much before I just used my regular foot and make sure I stayed steady! This was my first refashion to this degree. I was happy with the results and my daughter loved it.
