Dress Makeover

I had this dress in my closet that I just no longer wear. So I decided to take my scissors to it and see if I could come up with something more useful. Here is the before... *Sorry my pictures are so terrible. I really need a new camera.

AFTER 1: I cut the top off and sewed a cuff onto the bottom to make a shirt. Super easy.

AFTER 2: For the skirt, I cut out some of the fullness, and then sewed a thick band made out of a t-shirt onto the top. It's very comfortable and I can wear it pregnant or not. Woo hoo!

And that is what I did to my dress. It's much more functional now. I can wear the pieces seperate, or if I still want that dress look I could wear them together. It's the best of both worlds. I have another jumper that I never wear that I want to cut up. However, I am still debating about what to turn that one into, so it might have to wait awhile. Anyway, that is my latest - besides all the Christmas I can't talk about. :)
