I am a sucker for any type of button detailing, and that's why I couldn't pass up this slightly too big vintage 70's dress. Well, the fact that it was $1.20 didn't hurt either! (I know it may look like one from the 80's, but I promise you it's not built like one from the 80's and I looked it up).
The sleeves swallowed me so I decided I would attempt to remove them. From there, I took in the sides, starting under the arm and stopping at the waist. Then, I finished the arm holes and hemmed the bottom up 5 inches to hit at my knee.

That neckline looks perfect now! What a great restyle, I always see dresses like that (with the big silly sleeves) while thrifting and this definitely inspires me to take a chance with them.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing restyles like this - I am always finding dresses at Goodwill that are awesome but just not quite right for me. Love the lace!
ReplyDeleteI need to start looking past what something is to what something could be, more often. This turned out great.
