Instructions

1. 

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

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.

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.

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

5. 

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

6. 

   I cut and hemmed the sleeves to my desired length.

7. 

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