I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them but I knew that I was obsessed with them a whole lot.

The more I thought about the dress, the more I knew that there was a lot to be done with it and it couldn't all happen at once!!

For this go, I dyed the dress yellow because I just knew that the lace details would just make this piece so much brighter and bolder!!

Once it was dyed, I cut it a bit below the waist!! Those sleeves weren't going anywhere 😀

I pinned the "new" bottom and stitched a hem and the shirt was ready to wear.

Hello Sunshine! ☀️💛☀️

The top has a 60s vibe, so to modernize it a little more I paired it with some ripped jeans, mules, and my favorite (and brightest) souvenir (that purse!!!) from Bangkok.

The flowy sleeves still have a theatrical feel, but it's not as over the top as the whole dress was. I mean those sleeves needed to be sleeved!!!!

Another dress that has been given a second life. Wanna see what I did with the rest of it? Day 21 is almost here!
