Grandma's Dress

Lovely dress converted from size 42 to size 36

I converted an old dress into a fancy dress. It was very easy: I removed the sleeves and the lowest part of the skirt. Then I made the waist part smaller, by capturing fabric with the sewing machine. Tadaaaa! Because I liked the model so much, I created a second dress out of fabric, in exactly the same model as the converted old dress (that's the black dress with colored figures on it). I really like the high waist and the wide skirt.
