Daily Outfit: Reconstructed Dress

I found this dress at an estate sale and it needed some repairs. It was about mid calf length but the hem was all uneven so I chopped the bottom off. Of course I made it too short so I ran out to jo-anns and purchased this eyelet for 2.50 a yard to add a couple inches of length. Now I love it! Modern looking with the quality of a vintage garment.





Also, the shoes, how could I turn down cat loafers in just my size? One of the best thrift finds ever.

  2. You did an amazing job with this dress. I love the eyelet bottom, so cute! I just shortened three of my dresses today. I cannot wait to wear them. I love finding cheap clothes to fix.
