REfashion to REinvent - Third Time Lucky!


I'm calling this race run!
has now been 
REinvented!

It was while away enjoying a few days r&r
I found I had to make myself wear her 
- a good sign it wouldn't ever happen again -
which meant she was for the chop when we got home
cos as much as I wasn't comfortable with the style
I still liked the print/colours/fabric

and chop I did
first to go was the bodice 
which I turned backwards 
completely removing the sleeves & front in one fell swoop
and the neckline was cut to the desired depth  


the sides reshaped 
using the original front neck detail to finish the centre back panel


turning the the contrast fabric that separated the original bodice & skirt
into straps


so after trialing all options
what was destined to never be worn again or donated back to whence it came
takes pride of place in this chicks wardrobe because she is now as ridiculously comfortable as was orginally envisaged...


and because she's now more Pinny than Frock
I think you'll agree 
the title of REinvent can be justified.

  2. Wow you are so dedicated, mine would have gone back to where it came from a long time ago. I will have to try to keep persisting more. I love the final look. I would wear that.
