Frumpy boring vintage dress, to a frock fit for the races!
I purchased a dress with a gorgeous butterfly print from Vinnies, but it had an odd shape and was quite boring, so I had to resize and refashion
BEFORE AND AFTER…

I used a dress from my wardrobe as a template

And added a shoulder ruffle and belt with the excess fabric
Turned out great, but the photographs I have do not give justice!
