Ruffled Feathers

Got this dress from Buffalo Exchange a while back but I had to do something with these crazy poofy sleeves.

So I chopped them off. A simple quick fix. Just had to hem the dress and the armholes.

All better now.

  2. Following your blog for quite a while now, I am always amazed at what you can do with those night-shirty, tent-like dresses. This one is another great example. I just wondered whether it wouldn't be even better if you took off the top panel and let the ruffles be the neckline?

  3. Yay!! this is very cool! what a find!!! You were one of the first people i saw on (that other site....) and you had transformed the chambray blue dress into a mini dress and teamed it with a cute cardi!!!! I thought wow! i would have just walked past that dress!! You made me take a "look outside the square" and take a second look at those "will anyone love me again like they did in the 80's, dresses". xx love ya work

  4. At first I thought why cut off the sleeves they look cute. Then I looked again and realized they made the dress look like a nightgown. Great work!
