91 Days to Go: Sarah T's NDAD Creation

Today's remake comes from my So Cal sista Sarah T!!  I not only loved what she did, but I'm obsessed with her hair.  I'm having some "I want to dye the ends of my hair" feelings and this is just adding to my hair change cravings!

I bought this awesome dress from the 70s at a store called Lost & Found here in Orange, CA (we're not too far from each other!).  It was on the clearance rack for $10, which is less than I usually expect to pay for a good retro dress. I fell in love with the fabric and the pleats in the front, but the bust didn't fit well...

What did Sarah T do??

I turned it into a skirt!  I just sliced it up, ripped out the zipper, finished up that seam, and made an elastic waist.  This is something I do a lot with dresses, as I have trouble with fit in my bust area - I don't let it stop me! :)

I love your blog, keep up the awesome work. Sorry for the terrible photo booth pics, I was too excited to take better ones!

I think this turned out awesome Sarah!  From no fit, to new skirt that works with tees and tanks!  I think that this will look fabulous in the fall/winter paired with some opaque tights and boots too!!  Keep it up my local lass, S!!
