I'm finally getting to re-wear the rest of the dress that Teri sent my way, which ended up working out perfectly because it's been oh, so, warm out, and I've been breaking a sweat...
...from the summer weather mixed with the fact that I'm in the midst of moving!
This means filling these boxes, duffel bags and plastic bins, and ending up with the below....
...all while reapplying deodorant all day long because my lack of (current) AC :) My arms are getting a crazy workout though!!
So, back to the outfit - I was leftover with this after the first round...
Time to get crackin!!
I started by trimming off the 'top' part of the dress with the straps attached.
Once that was gone, I began pinning the skirt, as this was going to be a brand new top - something to keep cool in.
I loved the flowy bit that was on the left side of the dress and wanted to bring that front and center! After stitching down a new seam up top...
...I took it in on both sides (twice) to make it fit like a glove.
My new top was good to go - perfect and cool for daytime...
...but chic and layerable for evening...
Teri...the piece brings more joy my way, so thank you!! Back to packing and boxing up - more pictures to follow!!
