What a great weekend I had I am so pleased to say that I have a running sewing machine! Thanks to my wonderful husband and his maw'maw, without there help this weeks outfits would have been hand sewn and well that would have sucked. The vintage sewing machine I bought at a yard sale a few weeks ago for $5.00 is what my refashion was sewn with.
So last month I bought this hideous romper from the salvation army. I couldn't walk away from it and the more I debated putting it back on the rack, the less I wanted to get rid of it. So typical me I took it home, but hey it was only $1.00.
Here is the before...
This thing was beyond ugly and needed a LOT of work, lets just say everything had to be either taken in, shortened or both. Sorry the picture is blurry.
So here is the after...
So as you can see I turned this former ugly romper into a vintage style dress. I shortened it, took in the sleeves, the waist, replaced the buttons and cut the legs out. It was a true labor of love, but I couldn't be happier with how this dress turned out.
The cost:
Dress: $1.00 Salvation army
Shoes: $7.00 Target 70% off
Earrings: passed down from my momma
Belt: $3.00 Ross
Total outfit cost: $11.00!!!
Hope this inspires you to get out there and be thrifty :)
