Remake: 60s Chain Print Dress

Mad Men just returned for its last season, so I got together with a bunch of pals for a little viewing party! When getting together to watch Mad Men, one must always dress up :) I found this chain-esque printed dress at Goodwill...

...and thought it could be perfect to wear.

Hike the skirt and made it a bit more mod? I think it's going to be just the thing!

I started off by trimming off the bottom four inches of the dress.

Next, came some pinning. This polyester piece was super easy to work with too, making this a relatively easy tweak.

And alas...the hem! Just a little stitching to tie up the raw edges.

The waist was a pinch too large, so I ended up just cinching with a safety pin. This is something that I would have totally belted, but my belts are still in boxes.

I pulled the sleeves up and paired my new dress with some (a little over the) knee boots and sunnies.

Yeah, I'd love to live in the wardrobe department of Mad Men. I'm basically as close as you can get...
