Vintage Dress Redo

I was in need of a new dress, and money is tight right now. 
So... I dug in the dress up bin and came up with this dress! :) 
I used the below striped dress as a "pattern."
I just traced the striped dress onto the floral dress, and cut it and re- sewed it back together! 
I used the existing bottom hem, and the same sleeves so that def saved time! :)

I am pleased with my new dress. It was the first time I'd ever braved sewing a dress for myself... and it fits!!! I feel like a boss. Haha, jk. But I am indeed quite pleased! 

Thanks for stopping by!

  4. Thank you all for the sweet comments! You know, I sure don't feel very talented. But making a dress for myself was a big step. I never thought I'd be able to! :)
