upcycle a dress with chains
I needed a dress for a party but I didn't have anything fancy and I didn't have time to make a whole new dress. So I decided to add chains to a dress so I would save time and have something new too.

Step 1This is how the dress looked before. Nice colour, but boring and a little too big.
-
Step 2Put the inside out, decide how low you want your back, pin and draw with tailors chalk.
-
Step 3If you are sure, cut. If you are not sure, like me, cut it smaller so you can change it if you are not happy with it yet. After cutting, pin the seam and sew. I also made it a bit smaller under the arms because the dress was too big.
-
Step 4Now, put the dress on a mannequin and look at the result. If you do not own a mannequin ask your friends/family for help. Decide where you want your first chain to be.
-
Step 5Sew the chains on the dress, sew one chain on one side and attach a clasp. This string should be short so it can keep the sides of the dress together.
-
Step 6Now, add as much chains as you admire.
-
Step 7
I also sew some chains around the neck so the front of the dress would look cute too.
I would recommend to wear your hair up and look for some bra solutions. I don't know how I'm going to wear it yet..
