Thrifty

A new dress I found at the secondhand shop. I bought it more than a year ago, and although it needed barely any adjusting, I couldn't find the time till now.

I took off the 70s collar, turned the sleeves up a bit and chopped about 20cm off the hem, which I used to make a faced hem - possibly the only way to hem a flared skirt. It's amazing, the things you can learn from books!

I'm considering printing a row of something along the hem, though it'll likely take another year before I get around to it.
