Wedding refashion.

Supplies: donated dress 


Made this for my good friend's wedding this weekend. I wanted something lovely, fun, colorful, and twirly...I think this fits just that. 


 Before: This dress had lovely lace but the silhouette was outdated and frumpy. I shortened the skirt and turned the back into the front, took in the seams, and shortened the sleeves. 


I added this belt I made to highlight my waistline...The belt was a sequined appliqué from an old dress and I just added ribbon to the ends to tie in the back. 


Now just need a touch of accessories from Peachy Queen and I'm ready to go.
What do you think?

    Wow! You did a wonderful job. The shape of the dress is much more flattering. That color is lovely as well. Fantastic. :)

    Oh, it's really lovely! Like a fairy! And definitely more flattering than the original one. Love it!

    That is an amazing dress makeover. I'm particularly fond of the belt.

      Thanks Jess, I would love to...I'd have to make sure the supplies would be available though...I made the belt from appliques from an old dress.

    Beautiful. I think what you're doing here is a whole new level of thrifting. I really love the DIYs, I wanted to ask you if you had any more ideas about doing more of the jeweled dress upcycles. I find loads of those around my area, but I don't know what to do with them. I'd really appreciate a couple ideas.

    Thanks Trash to Couture

    Events like Hindu weddings serve as a perfect melting point for cultures where music, dance and food takes precedence. Wedding Dresses All around the world the ceremony of marriage is considered holy and pure.
