Watermelon Refash Part 1

A few weeks ago the husband and I went to see Alton Brown live! Such an awesome experience deserves an equally awesome refash!

This is where my before picture would normally be but I do not have one…I was POSITIVE I had one but when I looked through my archives…I discovered that I did not 😦

I have been holding onto this dress for the past year just waiting for the perfect opportunity to refash it.

Just imagine this heap of watermelon fabric as a floor length long sleeved dress…Holy Watermelon Batman!

So, it only makes sense to wear food themed clothing to see the culinary genius, Alton Brown!

Said goodbye to the shoulder pads!

I cut my dress 3 inches above the original skirt seam.

I folded over the excess 3 inches to make a casing for some elastic.

Threaded through my elastic using my trusted bodkin!

All ready to go!!!

A peak at the Fox Theater in Detroit:        

Ahhhh it’s Alton Brown!!! He’s amazing!!!

His shirt says “Detroit Vs. Everybody” Right on Alton, Detroit pride!

Happy Refashioning!!!!
