  Step 1

  I started out with this funeral looking wool black dress from the 1980s.

• 

  Step 2

  I had to begin by altering the dress to better fit me. It sat a little too low in the sleeves so I removed them and raised them up slightly.

• 

  Step 3

  Then I removed the zipper from the back of the dress. The dress was fully lined which made things really easy for me. All I had to do was pin the lining back to the dress and sew.

• Step 4

  I then added a hook and eye at the top of the dress to fasten the dress together.

• 

  Step 5

  I Re-attached the sleeves and determined how short I wanted them. I wanted quarter length sleeves.

• 

  Step 6

  I cut and hemmed the sleeves to my desired length.

• 

  Step 7

  Lastly I shortened the skirt and re-hemmed both the lining and the dress.
