On my weekends i usually spend a little time fixing up dresses that i have op shopped during the week to pop into the shop.
I thought i would show you how simple it is to breathe a little life into old and somewhat frumpy dresses to give them a new lease on life!
I spotted this dress amongst a pile of polyester blouses and instantly fell in love with the collar and buttons the hem wasnt a bad length and i knew by removing the sleeves it would be instantly cute!
BEFORE
AFTER
Ta Daaa!! This literally only took me around an hour to take the sleeves off and its ready for the shop.
There are so many easy and simple ways to make a piece of clothing wearable again new buttons, raise the hem, take off the sleeves or even dye a different colour!
This dress will be up for purchase in the shop this week! I hope you like how the dress turned out as much as i did!
