A simple shift



This was a very simple refashion. The original dress was one of those frumpy vintage long sleeve & shapeless polyester frocks. The dress was too long falling well below the knee. So I removed the lavender strip from the bottom and moved it to the waistline. This gave the dress some shape and set the length just above the knee. I removed the long sleeves and cut the armholes to a more shoulder flattering shape. Viola' a comfy little shift with a vintage flare.
I just acquired a few more of these vintage doldrums, so let's see what becomes of them in the coming days.
