Here is one of my latest projects, like really the latest cause I just finished about five minutes ago.
Still pretty crappy at taking pictures of myself. Sorry a head of time.
I first saw the huge amoeba/paisley+crazy floral print and knew it was love. Plus I need to add some cotton to the wardrobe...polyester is kind of taking over...plus 2 bucks for a new dress 'aint bad.
Here's the before:
Way too long, the sleeves too baggy, and the v-neck too deep (I adjusted it for pictures, cause honestly it was real low, some real sassy 80's mom wore this prior apparently).
The after:
Honestly, what is that face? I don't know.
All I did was:
- shorten the length
- turn it backwards
- roll the sleeves
- take in the V-neck, cause no one wants to see my hot nude shade bra and under shirt right? Right.
Now who wants a tea party?
Side note, can we all agree that Phil Dunphy is the best character in the universe? Thanks.

The dress is awesome! I love that you like to create different items. How fun! :) I found your blog through Bright Wishes. It looks great! Can't wait to see more from you! ~Natalie
that is SO cute, good job!!!
amazing! I think the before looks soo cute, but the after looks REALLy cute!
When you turned it around, did you have to sew darts in to accommodate the "ladies?" It's really cute.
You are totally inspiring me. i have so many old awesome dresses just stored away in a closet. i am going to get them out and start altering them.
CUTIE! & I heart Phil Dunphy. :)
I wish I knew how to sew! That is so awesome and I am so jealous of your awesome talent! You should totally be a fashion designer. J-Lo used to buy old people pants at Walmart where she could afford them and then turn them into mini skirts and add rhinestones and stuff before she made it big! Its true. You could totally be her! Well... the mormon, white version of her:)
I dont remember where I found your blog but I love it. I NEED to do this. I'm constantly finding dresses at the DI that I SHOULD revamp and then chicken out! HOT HOT!
ahh I love this!! So talented I wish I could sew better :)
Go rach! seriously you rock :) You have such a great eye, and I've loved seeing all your transformation sewing projects :) And "sassy 80's mom"...lol
PS - adam and I can't get enough of Phil. One of my favorite phil-isms was when he was trying to fix a big mess-up with Claire and he was so sweet and got her ONE DOZEN MYLAR BALLOONS. "Good luck stayin' mad, honey!" LOL
New to your blog and LOVE it! SAHM can't always afford to have fancy/cool clothes. I think I get more hand me downs than my 4 children LOL! This is a great idea! You are so crafty and such an inspiration! Thank you
I love it! I also love Phil Dunphy. He really is the best dad ever!! HAHA.
P.S. Will you make my dress for my moms wedding? Please! Maybe you can find me something cute at value village! Thanks!
Seriously! Who are you!? One day, I'm flying out there and you can give me sewing lessons :)
