New Life For Old Threads Meets Thrifty Outfit Tuesday








When I was purchasing this dress at the Goodwill the cashier asked me if I was going to be Amish for Halloween, When I replied, “no” she quickly said, “oooh…you just...like it...?” I get these questions a lot, I should really start just playing along as if I love them… just mess with these people’s minds…”Oh yeah, Amish is in right now…”

   But in all seriousness, this dress fit me like a glove, and beyond the hideous quarter length, poof sleeves, it had a pretty basic shape. It all pointed to an easy up-cycle.


First thing I did was remove the sleeves by ripping out the seams.

I then finished the armholes by folding over and sewing the unfinished edge.


The last thing was shorten it, because it was a god-awful length for anyone.


The finished product.

Thrifted Goodwill Dress: $6.99
Thrifted Pink Heels-$8.00
