Thrifted Dress Redesigned
Thrifted
Brand new with the tags still on
Brown and White polka- dot dress
When I got it home it had arm holes made for a stick person (probably why it still had the tags on) and it was to long for my shape
So I tore it apart
I removed the sleeves, and took the hem up 3″ and used the material to make new sleeves.
You may need to take a second look to notice the changes.
Fits great now!

HI Dawn! That dress is so cute, and so you! Good find. Thanks for joining the newbie party, have fun!!~ XO
Great job Dawn! I can’t imagine how much talent it takes to do a project like that!
Pam
Very cute re-do! I like the look better in the after pic. 😀
(found you through TGC’s Just Something I Whipped Up linky)
Such a great idea- What an adorable dress- can’t wait to see how you “dress” it up!
I love it! I often redo thrift store dresses, usually to make them into shirts, you did a great job!
I found your through Debbie Doos, I am your newest follower and hope you will follow me back.

It’s funny how different the colour is from the before to the after that I thought you had dyed the dress too. Way to go on making over the sleaves from the heming material. I love the cut of the dress and bet you get a lot of wear out of it.
Dawn.. what a great job. I like it better now. I sew and would rather start from scratch than take something apart… a new follower. found you on Debbie’s party. Hope you stop by sometimes
Wow…great job…I like it better now
Great job!
Great job with the dress!
Great job! You go girl!
I love it! You’re very talented with alterations! thanks for linking it up!
Wow! I’m impressed. I’d never be able to remake a dress. And I like it better with the alterations you made.
I love the sleeves you did, Dawn! They really suit the dress much better.
So cute. I wish I was good at things like that 🙂
Wow! I love dismantling clothes but I am not so good at putting them back together……great job on this dress. The sleeves, especially, are way better.
Saw your dress on not just a housewife . . . you did a fantastic job! It looks amazing! I love giving thrift store finds a little makeover–it’s so fun!

Dawn, that is great that you were able to make it work for you. Thanks for joining WUW.
That’s amazing and cute as a button. Anthropologie may coming calling you to help make their dresses. 🙂
oops..that should read “may come calling”….sheesh
