thrify & nifty threads: upcycled fashion #8

 Well this latest edition of taking something thrifty, and making it more nifty, has me seeing spots... er, polka dots!

 I had this frumpy old dress rolled into my fabric stash for years... and the other day I went to grab it for a sewing project - and realised it was still a dress!
Light cotton. Ric-rack trim. Zipper up the front.

Modifications:
Taken in at the sides.
Angle cut around the bottom of skirt... with doily edging from an old table runner.
Crochet Peter-Pan collar added on.
 See... angle cut bottom!  Love those wee pockets.

Annnd, Azriel and I getting all silly... since that's how we roll.
Past thrifty.nifty projects found here.

Hope you have a fun-filled weekend friends!
