New-ish dress

I bought a dress at H&M which is now too big. I really love it but I can't exchange it now since I've worn and washed it. So I decided to cut it up and resize it down.

I wore it out today and belted it so it wouldn't look so baggy but from the back and side it just looks like I'm wearing a bag. Or I look pregnant.


Here's how much fabric I cut off. I'll probably make some pockets out of it.

Still nice and flowy but actually has some shape to it now.

Now you can tell I actually have a butt.


I bought some kelly green jersey knit fabric at Joann today so I can make this next.

  1. Nice remix! And I would love to make the skirt you linked to, but neither of my sewing machines is co-operating at the moment. :-/
