It's a bandana dress for Day 340!!
It's like someone dipped the skirt part of the dress in a little dye bath of the bandana shade. Yikes! Paired with that collar, it's reading too much polyester/70s right now and that has to get tweaked!
In my journey of taking the road furthest from Saturday Night Fever, first off on the to-do checklist? The collar!! Grabbed some seam rippers and began the trip.
Got one completely off...
...and the other followed!! It was just a little bit of John Travolta...
...paired with Ron Burgundy...
...and now it's no more of either!! Woo hoo!!
While the seam ripper was out during that transformation, these sleeves came off as well...
Before we're totally done, off came the length...
...and the neck was opened up just a smidge more.
To tighten up the body, which was definitely very loose, a little cinching and pinching came next!!
Not only did the neckline look more femme, it tightened it up as well!! No other stitching to make it fitted, just the safety pins!! The entire look?
Less themey/70s-gross and way more chic and current!! If it were Halloween, maybe I could have gotten away with going as "Barri Gibb", but only if I could have gotten Jimmy Fallon to come with as the real Barry Gibb or JT as his bro Robin.
Since that wasn't happening, I loved my new girly take on this piece. Pretty neckline that goes nicely with platform wedges.
That's about as 70s as I'm getting today!!
