ReFashion: Halter Dress From Big tee-shirt





This is my first re-fashion for the month of June, which I did for my lovely friend SeaLove. I used the halter#2 tutorial from OhMyStars, but made it longer so that it would be a dress, scooped the back down a bit, added darts, modified the way I attached the straps, and tied in beads where the straps hang down her back.

I LOVE OhMyStars. There are alot of cute ideas there that I want to work with this summer.It was alot of fun making this dress for my friend, and it only took an afternoon to do.

Wardrobe Refashion!

I'm signed up for Wardrobe Refashion for the months of June, July, August, and September. Although I just got around to posting the pledge, I have already done a re-construction of a t-shirt into a dress for one of my friends (posting soon!) and have a stack of tees ready to re-construct for me, among other things. So here's my pledge:

I Elizabeth, pledge that I shall abstain from the purchase of "new" manufactured items of clothing, for the period of 4 months. I pledge that I shall refashion, renovate, recycle preloved items for myself with my own hands in fabric, yarn or other medium for the term of my contract.

I pledge that I will share the love and post a photo of my refashioned, renovoated, recylcled, crafted or created item of clothing on the Wardrobe Refashion blog, so that others may share the joy that thy thriftyness brings!

Signed, Elizabeth
