Description

I remade a dress I found in a second-hand store for my graduation.

Instructions

  1. Small img 4705 1308306761

    Find a cheap dress with a potential.

  2. Small img 4703 1308306907

    Buy some fabrics and tulle that are (in some sense) opposite color.

  3. Small img 4708

    Cut the dress into pieces and keep the useful ones.

  4. Small img 4713

    Make a new top and attach it to sleeves. I sewed it by hand.

  5. Small img 4722

    Make the skirt part a bit shorter from the top and crimp it to match the new (orange) top.

  6. Small img 4724

    Put everything together, take a picture and think about it. Now this looks a bit oldfashioned, don't you think?

  7. Small img 4725

    Make a lace from leftovers.

  8. Small img 4727

    Cut the back side of the top.

  9. Small img 4728

    Add some lace to the top like you mean it.

  10. Small img 4729

    Crimp the tulle.

  11. Small img 4731

    Attach the tulle to the skirt so that it shows just a bit.

  12. Small img 4735

    Add a belt if needed...

  13. Small img 4736

    ... and some butterflies...

  14. Small img 4739

    ... and some velvet roses too.
