Supplies: Thrifted XXL stretch top and only $2.00!
Now that's a transformation...
I cut the shoulder seam and used that as the collar for added length. I shaped it on my dress form and sewed it from there.
I pleated under the bust line by gathering folds, then sewed it flat. This creates shape in the dress and fullness to the skirt. Added some straps for the shoulders.
A lot of reshaping went into the dress, it is hard to explain. It's best to fit it on you or a dress form for fitting.

ReplyDeleteHi Laura! I absolutely LOVE your Blog! I LOVE the way you update old pieces that you buy on thrift stores. So WONDERFUL!! I am thinking on doing the same (I live in Portugal and the crisis here is a huge reality, and besides I have two kids), so could you PLEASE put the tutorial of this beautiful lace dress on the Blog? THANK YOU! If I would use a dress like this, I would feel like a Princess! :D

very good, sorry that I can not sew! Love your blog, I'm from Brazil I'm always watching over your blog
ReplyDeleteLove this! I have a shirt with many attached memories that I would love to make into a dress.. Would you mind posting a short tutorial? My minimal sewing skills would be ever so grateful! (:
ReplyDeleteBeautiful transformation! Can you post a tutorial? I'm having trouble seeing how that top added length for the dress...
ReplyDeleteYour dress is so beautiful, I wonering you like it very much, you like beautiful dress and me too, So i find a so nice wedding dresses 2013
ReplyDeletestore,I think you have interesting to it.
Sigh. It's a cute dress.. but it was a cute top, and fat girls (like myself) have a hard enough time finding cute stuff at thrift stores. Fashion is already geared away from XXL bodies, so it's a little sadmaking that you would choose to cut up a cute XXL top that someone could have worn as-is.
ReplyDeleteYou better get to the thrift shops in Jax Florida then. I'm not biased to size just whatever inspires my work. Warning: I'm super fast
Deletep.s. life is not worth being sad over a silly thing like this.
Duvido que é a mesma peça! Só se a parte de trás ficou com um decote nas costas porque se você contar as flores da blusa e do vestido o tamanho do último é bem maior que a blusa! E me diz uma coisa, pra que a pessoa posta uma coisa que ela fez e não posta o tutorial? Ela ta vendendo?? Se não estiver é bobagem! Só serve pra deixar a gente curioso!
ReplyDeleteYou sewed it from there. Not from their. Absolutely love this dress though!

Hi! How are you? I hope you are doing well. If you have read the above-written article and you have liked it, then I would like to corroborate the fact that the above write-up is indeed quality work. The grammar is on point and I cannot see any factual flaws in the work. Apart from that, the write-up is a unique blend of simplicity and vocabulary. However, one thing that has impressed me more than the rest is the research. It seems as if the author put more impetus in the factuality of the content rather than expressing views, which is a good thing.
