New Dress a Day Refashion Swap
Readers may remember seeing a photograph I posted on facebook, of a thrifted dress off on a secret mission to California.
The secret mission is now complete and all can be revealed. The super talented thrifted dress makeover-er Marisa of New Dress a Day and I decided to send each other a frock for a refashion swap!
I found Marisa’s magenta dress in a local op shop for $5, and Marisa sent me this blue 80′s shoulder padded number, complete with ruffles.
I’ll start with my own re-do, this is the before and after:
Seeing Marisa’s blue dress, I had to work with those ruffles! After cutting the dress in half, I made the bottom half into a rah-rah skirt, with a flat front using interfacing and an elastic waist casing at the back.
With the remaining fabric, I’ve made a sleeveless blouse using Coletterie’s free Sorbetto Top downloadable pattern.
The Sorbetto pattern suggests using bias tape to finish off raw hems. I did that, but instead of using blue bias, I’ve used contrasting pink for arm holes and neckline, and navy blue for the bottom.
Now you would like to see Marisa’s dress makeover, yes? Of course you would!
Here is the the dress I sent Marisa:
