I retired this dress from my closet to my refash pile several years ago. I wore this dress a billions times because I loved it so much, but I finally got tired of it. I recently found it in my refash pile and fell in love with it again! It just needed an update!
I decided to tie the top of the dress into the bottom of the dress by adding blue bias tape to the neckline and arm holes.
Then I wanted to shorten this dress so I marked where I wanted my new hem to to end.
I cut and and hemmed the bottom!
Now I have a leftover piece of fabric.
I draped this leftover piece of fabric across the shoulders.
Showed off my new dress in Frankenmuth, MI on the 4th of July!
Happy Refashioning!!!

Hi there! Welcome to my little blog! My name is Marisa, phonetically that’s Marie-sa! My goal is to change the way you look at outdated clothes by making you think outside the stitch!
I am a dental hygienist by trade but that leaves me longing to show my creative side and having something more fashionable to wear than scrubs!
I have always been interested in fashion and for years I have been dabbling in creating my own clothes. Now is the time to seriously get into refashioning and encourage you to do the same!
I hope this little blog of mine inspires you not to pass up those oversized unsightly pieces of clothing but to transform them into something beautiful!
Happy Refashioning!
